Sponsorship

Let's Partner!

As Washington's leading LGBTQ+ and allied chamber of commerce, GSBA offers sponsorship opportunities that align your brand with impactful programs, events, and initiatives, all while reaching a dedicated audience of business owners, professionals, and community members.

Champion Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Annual corporate partners are the cornerstone of GSBA’s mission to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in Washington’s communities and workplaces. Your partnership sustains and advances critical programs that empower businesses, advocate for equality, and support LGBTQ+ students through scholarships.

By investing broadly across GSBA’s business development and education initiatives, your organization drives meaningful growth and creates a lasting impact on the communities we serve. As a corporate partner, you’ll play a vital role in expanding the reach and effectiveness of these programs, touching the lives of countless constituents.

In recognition of your commitment, GSBA will prominently showcase your organization across our media channels and at signature events throughout the year. We’ll collaborate with you to align your brand with initiatives that complement your corporate values and objectives, ensuring your support is both impactful and aligned with your mission.

 Investment levels begin at $10,000 for corporations and $4,000 for small businesses (under 25 employees).
