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 affords a visibly effective way to associate 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 within the U.S. Benefits of corporate sponsorship also include recognition in sponsored research reports, on the IABC Research Foundation’s online Donor’s List, at the annual IABC International Conference and in IABC’s various communication vehicles, along with other high-profile venues.

The Research Foundation offers a variety of sponsorship opportunities, including:

Original research projects that yield widely distributed books and reports
Annual IABC Research Foundation Conference Luncheon and Seminar
Award Programs
