Sponsorship Committee

The Sponsorship Committee fuels HiPower’s mission by securing and stewarding financial support from values-aligned companies and partners. Using our sponsorship prospectus as the foundation for outreach and activation, the committee ensures sponsors clearly understand the impact of their investment and experience meaningful engagement with the HiPower community.

Sponsorship Committee Mission Statement

The mission of the Sponsorship Committee is to develop strong relationships with existing and potential financial sponsors in order to solicit continued financial support for HiPower’s operations.
