Sponsors
Powered by Partners, Fueled by Community
DotGov 2025 is made possible by the generosity of sponsors who believe in inclusive design and civic innovation. AIGA DC is a 100% volunteer-run organization, and every donation and sponsorship plays a crucial role in supporting our programs, events, and resources.
Tier 1: Flagship Sponsor
Availability: 3-4 Opportunities ($5,000+)
This is the premier level of partnership, offering the highest and most integrated visibility across the entire DotGov 2025 conference. A Flagship Partner is positioned as a primary supporter of the event's mission to reconnect and empower the civic design community. This tier is ideal for organizations that want to demonstrate a deep commitment to civic innovation and be recognized as a leader in advancing the design profession.

Tier 2: Community Sponsor

This tier offers an accessible entry point for organizations to support the conference's mission through either a direct financial contribution or an in-kind donation of goods, services, or space. This partnership is crucial for offsetting operational costs and ensuring a high-quality experience for all attendees. This tier is ideal for smaller agencies, startups, or companies wanting to contribute in a specific, tangible way.
Benefits:

Individual Sponsorships
(Availability dependent on programming and logistics)
This tier provides an opportunity for targeted sponsorship of a specific component within the 2025 conference. It allows a partner to align their organization with the content or event that best fits their business objectives. This tier is ideal for sponsors who wish to connect with the audience of a specific talk, workshop, or social event.
Benefits for targeted, individual sponsorships are dependent on mutual agreement between DotGov and the sponsor. They might look like:
A hip local coffee shop and bakery choosing to sponsor premium breakfast options for attendees
A local, community-oriented hotel offering a discount to DotGov ticket purchasers attending from outside the DMV area
A local design agency choosing to sponsor an individual panel discussion that aligns with their values
