Sponsors & Affiliates
The NCIIA offers four levels of national sponsorship: Founding Sponsor, Gold Sponsor, Silver Sponsor, and Program Affiliate. Invention to Venture

In addition to national sponsorship, workshop hosts rely upon local sponsors to support their events.
The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation
works with partners to encourage entrepreneurship across America and
improve the education of children and youth. The Foundation focuses its
operations and grant making on two areas: entrepreneurship and
education. The Kauffman Foundation strives to foster an environment

need to succeed. It promotes entrepreneurial success at all levels,
working with leading educators and researchers nationwide to create
awareness of the powerful economic impact of entrepreneurship, to
develop and disseminate proven programs that enhance entrepreneurial
skills and abilities, and to improve the environment in which
entrepreneurs start and grow businesses. The Kauffman Foundation's
entrepreneurship Web site eVenturing is devoted to this topic and provides more information about programs and resources in this arena.
