Sponsor Opportunities

Why Sponsor the Endowment and Finance Summit?

Sponsorship is one of the best ways to brand your organization as a thought leader and to highlight your commitment to advancing the philanthropic sector. As a sponsor, you will be able to:

• Connect with industry decision makers. Seventy percent of the 2015 Endowments and Finance Summit attendees were C-suite executives with the majority having six or more years of financial or investment management experience.
• Showcase your organization’s expertise at a best-in-class educational experience for Council members. The Council represents organizations with combined assets of over $210 billion and approximately $15 billion in giving.
• Demonstrate your leadership. The Endowment and Finance Summit is the only event that brings together leaders from foundations of all asset sizes, types, and geographies for in-depth learning and networking.
