PNPI’s mission is to increase the knowledge, capacity, and diversity of federal postsecondary policymakers, leaders, and thinkers. We believe stronger policy is built through learning, connection, and inclusion—when those in the federal policymaking community deepen their understanding, build collegial relationships, and bring diverse perspectives into the rooms where decisions are made.
Sponsors help us achieve our goals
We focus on supporting federal policymakers and those who influence them because of the powerful role they play in expanding student access and success. PNPI is committed, innovative, mission-driven, and uniquely positioned in the higher education space to deliver trusted, nonpartisan educational programming.
Sponsorships make our work possible. They allow us to expand our reach, strengthen our programs, and ensure more voices can participate in shaping postsecondary policy.
Below are our current sponsorship opportunities.
“PNPI truly stands out with their intentional programming, experienced speakers, and timely topics. PNPI has helped me dive deeper into the labyrinth that is education policy while building bicameral and bipartisan friendships along the way.”
