What is the NIO Summit?
Now going on its 12th 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?
All NIO 2026 sponsorship opportunities are sold out so it’s time to set our sights on 2027. 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 2027 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.
Why sponsor the NIO Summit?
Full Access to Innovative Nonprofit Leaders
Our event brings together a wide range of nonprofit organizations—varying in size, mission, and structure—with fundraising pros from the C-suite to the front lines. That means meaningful conversations with decision-makers and the people who influence them.
Show Off What Makes You Awesome
Whether you’re exhibiting, sharing insights in a Quick Tip session, or demoing your products in an Innovation Showcase, you’ll have plenty of ways to highlight what you do—and why it matters.
It’s Not All Business
Yes, we’re serious about nonprofit growth—but we’re also big fans of fun. Think: dancing, great food, karaoke, drinks (maybe a few too many), and unforgettable moments. As a sponsor, you’re invited to join the party and build deeper connections along the way.
Insights for the future
Access to participate in all of the sessions throughout the entire conference, so you can take home some valuable insights and learnings from our incredible speakers and presenters.
