Leadership Sponsor Opportunities

Leading experts, thought leaders, and researchers in the field will deliver inspiring sessions, including some between speakers who see the same issue very differently. These captivating plenaries will dive into what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what’s next. This opportunity also includes two-minute welcome remarks, if of interest to the partner.

Welcome attendees for a People’s Supper experience hosted by Trust Labs where we'll have the chance to reflect together on the themes of the gathering, and the stories and experiences we each bring into the room (and with any luck, talk about something more interesting than the weather). Since 2017, more than 20,000 people have sat down for People's Suppers in over 100 cities and towns nationwide, in partnership with dozens of local government and civic groups, faith-based organizations and communities, colleges and universities, workplaces, and more. This opportunity includes two-minute remarks, if of interest to the sponsor, and recognition on prominent signage in the event space.

Champion a signature element of Building Together, when participants meet up with their Practice Team over meals to reflect on what they are learning, practice new skills, and consider take-home strategies relevant to their work. Teams are constructed with diversity in mind, so teammates will come from different roles and regions and have varied perspectives. As practice teams converge for dedicated time each day, they will be looking for signage directing them to their assigned tables, prominently featuring your logo as a nod to your support.

Bridging Sponsor Opportunities

Join Council CEO Kathleen Enright and Council board members for a relaxed evening of connection with other foundation leaders on the evening of Wednesday, May 6. This opportunity includes prominent signage and three reception invitations.

Before our immersive learning experience begins Tuesday morning, we’re providing afternoon and evening activities on Monday, including a happy hour, that will give attendees an opportunity to connect informally when they arrive in Seattle. Help create a relaxing and fun atmosphere where trust can be built, and friendships can begin. This includes recognition as we promote the event to attendees and recognition on prominent signage in the event space.

Help participants center their focus and make space for their wellbeing while they’re out of the office by supporting mental and physical wellness activities throughout the event including meditation, reflective journaling, breathwork, somatic work and unprogrammed open space. This includes recognition on prominent signage at the wellness activities.

Show your commitment to our inclusive conference experience by sponsoring our accessibility options such as closed captioning and American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters. This includes a special acknowledgment in our accessibility guide.

Collaboration Sponsor Opportunities

The Council recognizes the incredible power of the arts to inspire and foster change. Local performance and visual artists will be highlighted throughout Building Together, bringing connection to artists and cultural experiences. This includes recognition on prominent signage at the event. ​​​​​​

We strive to keep the cost of event registrations accessible but realize that it is not feasible for everyone. Support participation for leaders who may not otherwise be able to attend due to limited professional development budgets. In partnership with our sponsors, the Council is committed to supporting the cost of attendee registrations through scholarships. Each Scholarship Sponsor will cover registration for five recipients.

Customize an Option

We know that support from partners can come in many forms. If you’d like to discuss an alternative option than what is included in the sponsorship guide, please contact Annie Tolbert at annie.tolbert@cof.org. We value your feedback!
