Helping public libraries advance their work through collective learning and peer-to-peer sharing.
IPLFC Sponsorship Opportunities
The International Public Library Fundraising Conference brings together the people who lead, fund and strengthen public libraries.
For organizations that serve libraries, IPLFC offers a focused opportunity to build relationships with library executives, foundation and Friends leaders, fundraising professionals and other decision-makers from across the field.
Why Sponsor IPLFC?
Reach a specialized audience. Connect with professionals focused specifically on fundraising and private support for public libraries.
Build relationships. IPLFC is intentionally designed for connection. Sponsors participate alongside attendees throughout the conference, not in a separate exhibit hall.
Increase your visibility. Sponsorship recognition extends before, during, and after the conference through conference communications, the website, event app, and on-site recognition.
Support the field. Your sponsorship helps strengthen learning, connection, and fundraising capacity across public libraries.
