The Global Congress accepts sponsorships, including in the form of grants, unrestricted tax deductible gifts, or in-kind support for the travel and registration fees of one or more participants. All sponsors will be recognized in the publications and displays of the Congress.
Sponsors reach an audience of thousands of public interest advocates, academics, government officials, and firms who are either Congress members (800+), participants at the Congress (300+), or consumers of the Congress’s live and on-demand web streams or other digital content (10,000+).
Most importantly, sponsorship helps public interest advocates and academics from developing countries attend the Congress, literally making the world a better place.
Sponsors to date include:
- Ford Foundation
- Public Citizen
- Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property
- O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law
- Open Society Foundation
