Partnering for Progress: Why Sponsor the Wise 40th Anniversary?

For 40 years, the Washington Initiative for Supported Employment (Wise) has led the way in community-integrated employment (CIE) for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD). This October, we aren't just celebrating our history, we are launching the next phase of inclusion. As a sponsor, you aren’t just a guest, you are a partner in the following:

• Visibility and Reputation: Align your brand with a trusted leader. Sponsoring our 40th Anniversary shows your customers and employees that you stand for equity, enhancing your reputation as a socially responsible leader in Washington State.
• Targeted Audience Reach: Connect directly with a highly engaged network of business leaders, advocates, and community partners. This is a unique opportunity to increase your brand’s visibility within a mission-driven market that prioritizes diversity and inclusion.
• Building the Future of CIE: By joining us, you help build "what comes next." Your sponsorship fuels our expansion of CIE across Washington state and the nation, ensuring that people with I/DD have the support they need to thrive in the general workforce.
• Strengthening the Business Case: Help us prove that inclusive hiring isn't just "the right thing to do", it's a smart business move. Your support allows Wise to continue demonstrating the high retention, productivity, and innovation that employees with I/DD bring to Washington businesses, creating a stronger economy for everyone.
