Partners in Hope
25th Anniversary Annual Meeting
October 21–23, 2026 · Jackson, MS

Together for Hope's 25th Anniversary Annual Meeting gathers 150+ coalition member organizations from across the Delta, Black Belt, Appalachia, and Tribal Nations/Texas/Four Corners, grassroots practitioners working to abolish persistent rural poverty in America's most underserved communities. The Partners in Hope program offers three tracks of engagement, each designed to connect your organization with Together for Hope's network in ways that fit your goals.

Three ways to partner

Track 1 — Underwrite the Work
Name recognition. Support that brings the coalition together.

These tiers fund coalition member participation in the Annual Meeting: travel, lodging, and registration. Sponsors are recognized in the program, on signage, and in post-event communications.

Friend, $500. Name in program. Combines with other funds to bring one coalition member to the event.
Community, $1,000. Brings one to two coalition members. Name in program.
Champion, $2,500. Brings three to five coalition members. Name in program and on signage.
Cornerstone, $5,000. Brings a full regional delegation. Name in program, on signage, and in social media recognition.
Name Your Own, any amount. Support at the level that is right for you. Name recognition commensurate with the gift.

Track 2 — Engage the Coalition
Direct access to Together for Hope's 150+ member organizations across our regions.

These tiers give sponsors structured access to our practitioner network, the people doing the work on the ground in 338 persistent poverty counties across 30 states.

Network, $1,000. Curated member email list, post-event and opt-in.
Partner, $2,000. Email list plus exhibit presence at the Annual Meeting.
Convener, $3,500. Email list, exhibit presence, and an engagement opportunity with coalition members.

Track 3 — Engage the Donors
Access to Together for Hope's philanthropic community.

These tiers place sponsors in front of our donor base and broader supporters at the Gala and related high-visibility moments during the Annual Meeting weekend.

Illuminate, $5,000. Underwrite the screening of the documentary film Rising Hope during the Annual Meeting. Name recognition at the screening.
Invest, $10,000. Underwrite the immersion experience, a guided bus tour through the Delta and historic sites with time in the communities where this work began. Recognition in materials and brief acknowledgment on the day.
