Introducing the 2026 Partnership Sponsorship Program: Building Stronger Partnerships

At the Direct Marketing Association of Washington (DMAW), we know that meaningful partnerships fuel innovation, growth, and impact. That’s why I’m thrilled to announce the launch of our 2026 Partnership Program – a new way for our partners to connect, engage, and thrive alongside our community.

For years, sponsors have played a critical role in sustaining DMAW’s mission and making our events, resources, and professional development opportunities possible. In 2026, we’re taking that support to the next level with a tiered structure that creates greater flexibility, visibility, and value for our sponsors.

What’s New in 2026?

The new tiered program offers opportunities for organizations of all sizes to align their support with their goals. Whether you’re looking for broad year-round visibility, targeted engagement at signature events, or leadership opportunities in front of decision-makers, there’s a sponsorship level designed to fit your strategy.

Each tier provides a unique mix of benefits, including:

• Year-round recognition across DMAW communications, events, and publications
• Priority visibility at signature programs such as the Nonprofit Conference, MAXI Awards, Multi-Channel Mini-Con, and Bridge Conference (co-hosted with AFP-DC)
• Exclusive access to networking, thought leadership, and community-building opportunities
• Customizable options to help you make the most of your investment

Why This Matters

For our sponsors, the new partnership program is more than just a menu of benefits – it’s a platform to build stronger, lasting connections with DMAW’s network of nonprofit and marketing leaders. For DMAW, it ensures we can continue to deliver the high-quality education, community, and advocacy that our members count on.

Stronger Together

The theme guiding DMAW in 2026 is Stronger Together. This new partnership model reflects that belief: when our partners grow, our community grows, and when our community grows, our entire profession moves forward.

I invite you to explore the 2026 Partnership Program and find the level that’s right for your organization. Together, let’s make 2026 a year of partnership, innovation, and impact.
