Foundation Sponsorship

Associate your organization with communication excellence and gain recognition by sponsoring an IABC Research Foundation program or project.

IABC Research Foundation Sponsorship

The IABC Research Foundation is a non-profit corporation dedicated to supporting and advancing organizational communication by delivering research findings vital to the profession. Since its establishment in 1982, the Foundation has acted as a bridge between the theory and practice of organizational communication.

Sponsoring a Foundation program or research project offers a visibly effective way to align your organization with communication excellence and build credibility. The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) corporation, so sponsorship contributions may be taken as charitable tax deductions in the U.S.  Benefits of sponsorship also include recognition in sponsored research reports, on the IABC Research Foundation’s online Donor’s List, at the annual IABC World Conference and in IABC’s various communication vehicles, along with other high-profile venues.

The IABC Research Foundation has an ambitious 2010-11 research agenda with landmark projects scheduled that will positively impact organizational communication and performance.
