Corporate partnerships
Most sponsorships buy a logo. This one buys a report.
Every quarter we publish what we funded, who it reached, and what we still cannot claim. As a partner, your name is attached to specific line items in that ledger rather than to a general fund — which means that when somebody in your organization asks in January what the money bought, you will have an answer.
What makes this different
Three things you cannot buy from most sponsorships.
Reporting you can forward
Our impact ledger is republished every quarter and includes the things we cannot yet claim alongside the things we can. Partners are named against specific components — a grant cohort, a camp cycle, a scholarship — not against a total.
Something your people can use
A Changemakers Circuit session delivered to your staff. Networking Collective memberships for your women’s employee resource group. Volunteer slots at the gala. Benefits your employees actually consume, which is why this often sits in an engagement budget rather than competing with every other logo in marketing.
A room, not an impression count
Three hundred and eight people, sold out, with forty student-athletes seated among them and a Naismith Hall of Fame coach at the podium. That is a dense room of Idaho decision-makers. It is not a mass-reach buy and we are not going to pretend otherwise — you should know which product you are purchasing.
Partnership tiers
Prices are on the page, because you have ten minutes.
Annual partnerships, anchored to the Change Make*Hers Gala and running across the year’s programming. Every tier can be shaped around what your organization actually cares about — these are starting structures, not menus.
- Event naming rights — presented by your organization
- Speaking opportunity from the gala stage
- Inclusion on all event and program materials
- Premier logo placement across web, print and signage
- [PROPOSED] A reserved table of eight at the gala
- [PROPOSED] A Changemakers Circuit session for your staff
- [PROPOSED] Named program component of your choosing
- [PROPOSED] Quarterly impact report, attributed to you
- Named IX Grant cohort carrying your organization’s name
- Four gala tickets
- Logo placement across event and program materials
- [PROPOSED] Recognition in the quarterly impact report
- [PROPOSED] Networking Collective memberships for your ERG
- [PROPOSED] Social media recognition through the year
- Program underwriting credit on the component you fund
- Two gala tickets
- Logo on the website and event materials

- [PROPOSED] Volunteer slots at the gala for your team
- IX Grant naming on the grants your gift funds
- Website listing as a partner
- [PROPOSED] Recognition at the gala
- [PROPOSED] Named in the quarterly impact report
Multi-year commitments, in-kind partnerships and gifts of professional services are all welcome and all worth a conversation. If none of these structures fits what you had in mind, that is usually a sign we should be talking rather than that you should be scrolling.
A different kind of partnership
Corporate & ERG Champion
$2,500 per yearNot a gala sponsorship. This one buys your people seats in the iWIN Networking Collective — a membership community for women moving from athlete identity into professional leadership.
- Five to ten transferable memberships, reassignable as your staff changes
- Co-branding within the Collective
- Quarterly reporting on participation and outcomes
- A ready-made programming calendar for a women’s employee resource group
If your organization has a women’s ERG with a budget and a thin calendar, this is usually the easiest thing on this page to get approved — it is employee development rather than philanthropy, and it is priced accordingly.
The Change Make*Hers Gala
February 10, 2027 · Boise Centre West
The Foundation’s flagship event and the single evening that funds most of the year’s programming. The inaugural gala in February 2026 sold out.
Who keynoted the first one
Tara VanDerveer — Naismith Hall of Fame head coach, 1,216 career wins, three NCAA championships, Olympic gold, and the woman whose head coaching career began at the University of Idaho.
A first-year foundation does not usually get that keynote. It is a reasonable proxy for the kind of room your logo would be in.
When to decide
Sponsorship commitments shape print materials, signage and the program, so earlier is genuinely better — and the Presenting Partner position is a single slot each year.
If you are working to an annual budget cycle, autumn is the right time to start the conversation about February.
Taking it to your CFO
You are probably not the person who signs this off.
Most people who bring us in have to convince somebody else first. Here is the short version of the case, in the language that tends to work internally.
It is measurable. Quarterly reporting, attributed to your organization, on specific funded components rather than a general fund.
It is local. Idaho girls, Idaho schools, Idaho scholars. For a company with an Idaho workforce, that is a story employees recognize rather than one they read about.
It reaches your own people. ERG memberships, a Circuit session for staff, volunteer slots at the gala. Employee engagement and community investment out of the same line.
It is a 501(c)(3). EIN 99-2465893. Tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

If you have a number in mind, we will tell you straight what it can fund and what it cannot. If you have a stated commitment to women’s advancement and no obvious way to demonstrate it, that is a conversation worth having too — and it does not have to start with a budget.
