How did you learn about the 2026 TBM Planner?
 *
Are you supporting a charity or cause? If so, which?
If you wish to sponsor (place an ad in) this PLANNER edition, do you want to add a donation of $50 or more to that charity or cause (you entered above)--in addition to your sponsorship fee--to receive 50 bonus copies of the PLANNER shipped free of charge to your location (in the 48 lower states)? If so, state the highest donation amount (in whole dollars) you would be willing to make to that charity/cause--with the understanding that copy quantities will be limited, and those sponsors pledging the highest donations will have TOP PRIORITY in reserving their 50 copies. (Because there will be a limited quantity of copies available, you must first be approved before making the donation regarding this offer. If/when approved, you will be informed about the time frame--around mid-October of 2025--in which your donation will be viable for this offer.)

Your highest donation: $
If supporting that charity or cause and you wish to acquire copies without sponsoring printings, state the highest donation (in whole dollars) you would be willing to make in hopes of securing your copies--with the understanding that, for each whole dollar donated equals one bonus copy of the PLANNER and that a donation of $50 or more (depending on quantity of copies available) grants free shipping for said 50 or more copies. (Sponsors will have TOP PRIORITY in securing copies; however, non-sponsors, via their pledged donation-amounts, will be able to compete for remaining quantities and therefore to be put onto the "Approved List" to be informed of the time frame in which their donation will be viable regarding this offer.)

Required
Regarding organizing batch printings, can you or your entity land sponsors to fund printing/shipping of copies?

(Such entities would find sponsors for all ad spaces--except back cover--and also fill in the “THIS COPY DISTRIBUTED BY” space.They would then send those ad files to TBM, whereby TBM would send the complete planner file to the printer. After receiving a proof and having it certified by the entities and TBM, the printer would then be paid to print and ship the copies to the entities.

Regarding payments from sponsors, the entities could either collect all payments and pay the printer in one lump sum when time comes or have sponsors send payments to TBM, whereby TBM would relay the lumps-sum payments to the printer.

Since the planner--44 total pages--would be printed in batches instead of in a singular bulk quantity, probably the best way to offer ad pricing to potential sponsors would be to ask them how much per SINGULAR COPY would they be willing to pay to have their ad included on the front cover...e.g. 20¢?, 30¢?, 45¢?, etc.?...with the same being asked regarding the internal full-page ads as well as the quarter-pagers...along with the TOTAL AMOUNT they'd be willing to pay: $100?, $200?, $500?, etc. Then, when there's enough combined sponsors to fund a feasible quantity of printings, that bunch would be printed according to the most economical quantity relative to those factors of per-singular-copy, and total-amount, preferences.)
Instead of using a Black printing firm selected by TBM, is there a Black-owned one you would find more convenient, just as capable and qualified, and just as compatibly economical? If so, give details.
Would you like to advertise in the PLANNER? (Also, if interested, reply to the aforementioned opportunity to receive 50 bonus copies as a sponsor.) (TBM will print in batches, so, for now, your ad would be part of Batch #1--with the deadline for TBM2026Batch1 ad submissions and payments not being firmly set, but probably being the earlier part of October.) (Unlike a magazine, where ads are exposed for just the duration of an edition, a planner is used ALL YEAR LONG--thus giving your ad the greatest chance of being noticed...and considered.)

Regarding sponsoring an ad, how much--per singular copy (e.g. 10¢, 25¢, 35¢, 40¢, etc.)--would you be willing to pay for...


...the Front Cover ad (7-1/2 H X 4-1/2 V)?:
...a Full-Page ad (approx. 8-1/8 H X 10-3/4 V)?:
...a Quarter-Page (approx. 4 H X 5-5/16 V)?:
...a Half-Page (8-1/8 H X 5-5/16 V or 4 H X 10-3/4 V)?:
How much TOTAL would you be willing to pay (e.g. $75, $150, $275, $400, etc.)?:

One-Line Ads Also Available: Perfect for promoting your business/organization/cause via brief text. Ads rank-listed in order of amounts/dates of pledged contributions—minimum contribution: $3. Ads will not change and will run in all printing batches of a particular edition. See examples HERE (scroll to PAGES 36 & 37).  How much would TOTAL you be willing to contribute for a one-line ad?

Does your entity plan to conduct an event or events in 2026 significant to the Black/Melanated populace that it would like included in the PLANNER? If so, describe the event(s), give its/their date(s), and give its/their URL(s):
