Why Sponsor the True Charity Summit?

Position your brand at the heart of real change.

The True Charity Summit is the premier national gathering for nonprofit and church leaders committed to effective, compassionate poverty alleviation. Sponsoring or exhibiting at this three-day event is more than a marketing opportunity—it’s a chance to equip front-line ministry leaders with the tools, ideas, and connections they need to succeed.

Our attendees are decision-makers.

They lead fast-moving, high-impact organizations and are actively seeking innovative resources to improve their work. In fact, nearly half of our members report significantly changing a program based on a resource we provided or recommended. Your partnership puts you in front of a responsive, engaged audience that’s ready to act.

You help shorten the learning curve for those doing the hardest work.

Far too many charity leaders are left to navigate poverty alleviation on their own—learning over years, or even decades, that well-intentioned efforts often fall short. The True Charity Summit accelerates their growth by connecting them to best practices, practical tools, and peer networks that drive real results. As a sponsor, you help make this transformative experience possible.

Your brand becomes part of the solution.

When you support the Summit, you’re not just gaining visibility—you’re investing in impact. You’re empowering ministries across the country to serve more effectively, avoid costly trial and error, and lead more people out of poverty and into stable, thriving lives.

Partner with us. Reach your audience. Change lives.

Testimonials

“The True Charity Summit was a breath of fresh air. It gave us practical tools, inspiring stories, and a reminder that we’re not alone in wanting to do charity in a way that helps people thrive. If you care about moving beyond quick fixes and really walking with people out of poverty, this Summit is for you. It’s not just a conference—it’s a recalibration for anyone serious about lasting change.”

“This was our first True Charity Summit.  After the first session, I looked at my husband and said “we have found our people.” The tools, information, and testimonials supporting our efforts… are so valuable! We will be back!”

“This Summit provided us with new resources, new perspectives and valuable networking. Getting to learn about similar nonprofits making an impact in their areas encouraged and excited us. We are so excited to attend in 2026 as we spend this next year implementing some of the lessons learned!”
