Do you want to Reach a diverse, motivated audience of nonprofit leaders ready to engage with your brand?

Now going on its 10th year, the Nonprofit Innovation & Optimization Summit—or NIO Summit for short—is the nonprofit event of all nonprofit events. The NIO Summit has a reputation for being the most innovative, fun, and downright crazy conference of the year. It’s the perfect place to showcase your company to an engaged audience of nonprofit professionals.

As a sponsor, you can tap into the energy of the NIO Summit—where hundreds of nonprofit innovators gather, ready to connect with brands that can help fuel their mission. Are you up for the challenge?

With NIO 2024 in the rearview and our sights set on 2025, there’s never been a better time to see what the future of nonprofit fundraising looks like.

Here’s a taste of what you can expect at the 2025 NIO Summit:

  • 61% of attendees were first-timers last year

  • 46% represented organizations with $10M+ in revenue

  • Over 75% were decision-makers (Managers, Execs, C-Suite)

This isn’t just another expo. It’s a high-energy gathering of digital-first fundraisers, growth-minded execs, and organizations hungry for innovation. But don’t just take our word for it—check out the video below from a few of our past sponsors. 

So what's it like to be a NIO Summit sponsor and exhibitor?
