Corporate Partnership
Companies also have the opportunity to become Corporate Partners of ICF to pursue business development through the Forum. They take advantage of the following programs:
- Contributing content to ICF’s audience. This includes a detailed profile on the website and the opportunity to write reports and advisories, and to participate in podcasts.
- Sponsorship of all ICF events and activities. Partners will be acknowledged as sponsors of the Forum in email newsletters, podcasts and reports issued by ICF.
- Personalized introductions. ICF will work with Partners to identify communities in the Forum’s network with an interest in their products and services, and to design an offering from the Partner that delivers short-term value to those communities. ICF will then make a personalized “warm” introduction to decision-makers in the community on the Partner’s behalf.
- Community Lab projects. Partners will have the opportunity to propose and carry out a development project with communities in the ICF network, with the hands-on support of ICF executives. The project will serve a business need of the Partner by exploring potential services and products that could be developed and deployed on a test basis in communities. ICF will work with the Partner to define the scope of the project based on our understanding of communities in the network. Giving the project the imprimatur of ICF as a neutral intermediary, we will introduce the project to prospective participants and provide oversight as the project develops.
Annual Dues: $15,000
