Partner with The Bricks
Downtown Hays is more than a collection of businesses and buildings—it’s the heart of our community. The Bricks Partnership is a mission-based investment that supports downtown year-round.
Downtown Hays is more than a collection of businesses and buildings—it is the heart of our community. It is where neighbors gather, traditions are celebrated, local entrepreneurs thrive, and memories are made. That vitality does not happen by accident. It is sustained through shared investment, thoughtful planning, and a deep commitment to place.
Through your partnership, you help fuel:
-
Year-round events and experiences
-
Support for local businesses and entrepreneurs
-
Beautification (lighting, décor, streetscape)
-
Staff, operations, and long-term sustainability
Why Partnership Matters
Partnership is investment in the systems, people, and programs that make Downtown Hays welcoming, resilient, and economically strong. This approach builds long-term stability, deepens impact, and keeps our mission front and center.
Your investment is not simply a donation—it is a commitment to the heart of Hays.

In Kind Partnership
Not every investment is financial—and in-kind support plays a vital role in the success of The Bricks. An in-kind partnership allows businesses and individuals to contribute goods, services, or professional expertise in lieu of a cash investment. From event materials and printing to décor, equipment, food, marketing support, or skilled services, in-kind partners help us deliver high-quality experiences while stewarding our financial resources wisely. In-kind contributions are recognized as part of our Partnership program and help strengthen the work behind Downtown Hays year-round.
