Sponsorship Opportunities

Kepler’s is currently seeking sponsors for our Annual Benefit on November 16, An Evening with Abraham Verghese and Friends at Kepler’s Books in Menlo Park. 

Sponsors gain valuable exposure to our deeply engaged audience while directly supporting our community mission. We recognize the generous support of our sponsors in the event program, in our annual report and on our website. We also invite you to join us for this celebration with a set of complimentary tickets to the event.

Here you will find a breakdown of our sponsorship levels and response form. To ensure your sponsorship is included in our event program, please submit your commitment by October 30th.

If you are interested in sponsorship, or have any questions about supporting Kepler’s, please reach out to Kepler’s Development Manager Evan Karp directly at evan@keplers.org.

Corporate sponsorship underwrites program costs and ensures that 100% of the philanthropic revenue from ticket sales goes directly to funding literary events and education programming.

For years, Kepler's Literary Foundation, the nonprofit arm of Kepler’s Books, has been dedicated to enriching our community with vital literary and cultural programming. In 2025 alone, thanks to the generosity of our community partners, we were able to serve thousands of readers, students, and literary enthusiasts through our public events and educational outreach.

The professional teams behind both Kepler’s Literary Foundation and Kepler’s Books work around the calendar to ensure our independent business and our cultural programming continue to grow alongside of – or despite – market forces. We believe independent bookstores are not just retail spaces, but essential community institutions that help to reinforce a strong civic fabric.

This work takes a village, so it’s important that those who wish to support our vision of Kepler’s have ways to do so at any level:
