Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

What sponsorship packages are available?

Four channels: newsletter, online events, community platform, and city events. Each can be bought as a standalone placement or as part of a quarterly or annual bundle. Annual Ecosystem Partner packages bundle all four channels into a single year-long activation.

What does it cost?

Pricing is tailored to scope and objectives. Get in touch and we'll find the right fit: sponsors@4ward.earth

Can sponsorship be in-kind rather than cash?

Yes. We're open to in-kind sponsorships such as venue space, catering, products, or services, particularly for city level event activations. Reach out to discuss what you can offer.

How long do sponsorships run?

From a single send or event through to 12-month annual partner packages. Most sponsors start with a newsletter or event test before committing to a bundle.

Can our employees attend your networking events?

4WARD runs regular events across 90 cities in 100+ countries, plus monthly online industry networking sessions, to help corporate employees stay up to date, meet relevant partners, and advance your organisation's sustainability goals. Sponsors receive access as part of their package.

Is this an official endorsement?

This partnership doesn't have to equate to any official endorsement of 4WARD. It's a cost-efficient way to help drive your organisation's sustainability and net zero initiatives while keeping your team connected to the ecosystem.

Can we choose which events or parts of the network we sponsor?

Yes. 4WARD has sponsorship options by geography and sector. Reach out for more info on strategic partnership agreements: sponsors@4ward.earth

How do you report on sponsorship impact?
