NCSL Foundation for State Legislatures | Sponsor Benefits

November 9, 2022

The NCSL Foundation for State Legislatures positions your government relations team to have the most effective impact on the state legislative process. As a sponsor, you will:

  • Build relationships with policymakers and your peers. Through the Foundation, you can promote your positions, offer expertise and add your voice to critical discussions on the issues that matter to you.
  • Position your organization in front of legislators from across the country. No other organization offers you so many opportunities to meet face-to-face with policymakers throughout the year, including NCSL’s Legislative Summit—the largest annual gathering of state legislators in the nation.
  • Gain access to the nation’s most comprehensive and up-to-date state policy resources. Foundation sponsors are able to gather valuable information and perspective from NCSL’s website and award-winning magazine.
  • Save time and maximize your impact with the help of our staff. The Foundation team is your liaison to NCSL and can help you navigate the organization with ease.
