Enterprise Sponsor Program Your opportunity to join a select group of companies who serve as advisors and educators to our members on industry trends.

NIGP’s Enterprise Sponsor Program is an all-in-one, single-tier, exclusive sponsorship for corporations that recognize the public good that can be achieved through alignment with the foremost authority in public procurement, its professional community and like-minded organizations.

Unlike most sponsorship programs, NIGP’s is holistic in scope – one ‘tier’ of sponsorship participation, recognition across key programs, no one-off up-selling or event-specific sponsorships, and a competitor-free program environment.

With a limited number of sponsorship slots in the program, your company will enjoy sustained high visibility recognition across NIGP programs.
