Empower Change Through Sponsorship

Support the Blue Ridge Institute's Mission

Join us in fostering a network of transformative leaders dedicated to equitable social change by sponsoring our annual conference.

Become a Sponsor

The Blue Ridge Institute (BRI) seeks sponsorship to support our annual nonprofit conference.

BRI exists to provide growth, connection, and renewal for community service leaders. Founded in 1927, our vision is a thriving national network of transformative leaders driving equitable social change. We are grateful for support like yours to continue this important work.

For over 97 years, nonprofit changemakers have gathered in a beautiful mountain setting, away from the hustle and bustle of the working world, for BRI. By design, BRI is unlike most professional development conferences. We offer thought-provoking speaker sessions and skill lab workshops balanced with optional gatherings and rejuvenation activities. Our goal is for attendees to learn and renew at the conference so they can lead the communities they serve with knowledge and passion.

We invite you to join us as a sponsor and we thank you for supporting nonprofit leadership, professional development, and the benefits BRI brings to the communities we serve. The deadline for sponsoring the 2026 conference will be May 15th, 2026.
