Some businesses choose to underwrite the cost of NESEA Memberships for their customers in order to grant them access to affordable financing through VSECU's VGreen program. Below are three ways you can sponsor your customers' NESEA Memberships.

Option 1: Rebate System Sponsorship

You set up a rebate system through which your customer can purchase a NESEA Membership, submit the receipt to you, and receive reimbursement directly from your business.

Option 2: Discount Code Sponsorship

NESEA creates a discount code that your customers use to become NESEA Members at no cost to them.  NESEA invoices your company on a quarterly basis for the total number of memberships ($75 or $55 each) your customers have registered for, saving you the time of processing individual rebates. This discount code option is a benefit of NESEA Business Membership.

Option 3: Custom Portal Sponsorship

NESEA creates a customized portal featuring your logo that allows your customers to become NESEA Members at no cost to them. NESEA invoices your company on a quarterly basis for the total number of memberships ($75 or $55 each) your customers have registered for, saving you the time of processing individual rebates. This option is a benefit of NESEA Business Membership and is dependant on VSECU and NESEA capacity.

Option 4: Custom Portal + Bulk Rate Sponsorship

Similiar to Option 3, NESEA creates a customized portal featuring your logo that allows your customers to become NESEA Members at no cost to them. However, instead of paying the cost of a membership per customer, your company agrees to pay a bulk rate for a year of unlimited NESEA Memberships for your customers. This option is a benefit of NESEA Business Membership and is dependant on VSECU and NESEA capacity.
