We are looking for some of LA’s most prominent and forward-thinking corporations, foundations and individuals to support this event through sponsorship. Donations and grants are tax-deductible, and will benefit 20 LA-based nonprofits who participate in this year's program.

We are willing to be as creative and accommodating as possible with your sponsorship, as long as the ask falls within the spirit of the Social Innovation Fast Pitch. There are guidelines for sponsorship, but we are open to discussing opportunities and ideas with you.  Additional details about the Social Innovation Fast Pitch program are available upon request.
