NCHEP 14 Sponsorship

Support the field by sponsoring the National Conference on Higher Education in Prison in April 2025.

Past NCHEP sponsors have not only supported the conference financially; they have also attended the event and collaborated with the Alliance as thought partners and planners.

Their contributions have been invaluable in:

  • Educating fellow funders
  • Strengthening field networks and enhancing relationships 
  • Supporting the development of new programs
  • Creating spaces for meaningful exchange and learning via funding opportunities
  • Presenting materials at the conference
  • Participating in the Funder Collaborative

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our dedicated sponsors, both returning and new. We want to work with you and ensure your participation is meaningful.

Access & Inclusion 

Conference participants include practitioners, educators and students, activists, policy experts, program administrators, and employees of state agencies. 

In past years, the Alliance has provided full or partial financial support to a significant portion of conference attendees, and a majority of financial aid recipients were formerly incarcerated. This year, we hope to offer at least 50 financial aid awards. 

If you're interested in sponsoring NCHEP this year through one of the outlined levels below—or if you have a new idea for sponsorship—please contact our Operations and Development Director (allisonlopez@higheredinprison) to explore a partnership.

Budget Narrative 

The NCHEP 14 budget totals $667,500 and outlines funding for key areas of the event. A significant amount is allocated to food and meeting space, participant financial aid for travel and accommodation, and audio/visual technology. Additional expenses include staff travel, signage, branding, marketing, and promotional efforts, along with funds for keynote speakers. The budget also covers ASL interpreters, graphic design, and other web design support. Pre-conference activities, taxes and service fees, creative competition prizes, and photography/videography are also factored in. Additionally, it accounts for staff time dedicated to the event and includes a small fee for our HR/finance firm that supports Alliance administrative needs.A full budget overview can be provided upon request. 

All levels of donation are appreciated.
