Sponsor Benefits

NQAPIA will work closely with you to develop a comprehensive benefits package tailored to meet your company’s investment objectives. Packages can entail programming, marketing, talent development, volunteerism, and corporate social responsibility philanthropy.

Local, National, and International Visibility

Corporate Partners gain marketing exposure to a local, national, and international community through recognition listings and donor spotlights in program books, printed materials, social media, and the NQAPIA website.

The NQAPIA conference offers a unique opportunity for visibility among the leading LGBTQ and API community leaders and professionals, as well as national figures, elected officials, policy makers and advocates.

Companies can present their programs through an open call for workshops or participation in other panels.

Corporate Diversity Support

NQAPIA works directly with Diversity & Inclusion staff and Employee Resource Groups and Business Resource Groups (ERGs/BRGs) to design particular corporate partnership for the conference.

ERG/BRG attendees can learn about innovative intra-company cross ERG collaborations that promote greater LGBTQ allyship among co-workers and more cultural receptivity among LGBT ERG groups. NQAPIA can assist Human Resources departments in career advancement, talent pool development, and diverse recruiting initiatives.

Employee Perks

Employees of Corporate Sponsors receive complementary conference registration.  NQAPIA Corporate Partnerships also demonstrate a company’s commitment to diversity, which promotes morale among company employees who are not only LGBTQ or API, but for the entire workforce.

Community Benefits

Become part of NQAPIA’s critical policy, advocacy and educational initiatives to address homophobia and racial intolerance.

NQAPIA is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) not-for-profit so all sponsorships and contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law.
