CONNECTING COMMUNITY. GROWING TOGETHER.
2025-2026 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
In its 17th season, The Indy Winter Farmers Market is the longest running and only winter market in downtown Indianapolis. Hosted at the AMP Food Hall & Marketplace, 16 Tech has been a key supporter of the market since 2021. Last season, 16 Tech became the official operator, carrying on Growing Places Indy (GPI)’s legacy.
Designed to connect community to healthy, sustainable, local produce throughout the fall and winter seasons, the Indy Winter Farmers Market depends on the support of sponsorship dollars.
The market’s location at 16 Tech is vital to Indy’s Near West and Near Northwest neighborhoods which lack grocery stores.
Your support helps increase access and affordability to local, healthy food.
ABOUT 16 TECH: 16 Tech Innovation District is a growing destination for entrepreneurship and innovation, located off Indiana Avenue in the historic Riverside neighborhood of downtown Indianapolis. 16 Tech Community Corporation is the nonprofit responsible for the programmatic and physical development of the district.

The Indy Winter Farmers Market provides access to affordable fresh, local produce on the westside, an area with limited access to these options. The IWFM Triple SNAP Match program increases shoppers’ spending power by matching SNAP benefits by matching SNAP benefits 3 to 1 during the market season.
The Triple-Match SNAP program transforms $20 into $60 for SNAP recipients, increasing shoppers’ spending power. With your contribution, the Triple Match SNAP program increases the amount the community is able to spend on fresh, locally grown produce.
