The Fair Rate Index
Sponsorship

Help keep fair prices free and public.

Sponsors fund the free index for homeowners, car owners and the agents who use it at the inspection table. In return they get a clear, labeled credit. They never get a say over any price.

Four ways to sponsor.

Sponsors pay flat fees only. Credit unions can add a member benefit with the founding partner package.

The firewall.

Sponsors get
  • A credit that reads “Underwritten by” or “Sponsored by,” then their name
  • Their logo, one neutral line on what they do, and a link
  • Aggregate counts only, such as email opens; counts under 5 are hidden
Sponsors never get
  • Any say over prices, method or rankings
  • Placement, leads or anyone’s personal data
  • Commissions or bonuses tied to clicks or sales
  • The right to say we endorse them

We don’t accept sponsorship from lead sellers, contractors and repair providers, home warranty companies, and AAA. Read the sponsor policy.

Education partners.

Community colleges, trade schools and extension services can review or co-create the lessons on a trade hub. Education partners are listed on the hub, free. They review lessons, never prices.
