2027 Partnership Investment Program
Become an FPFC Partner
Membership puts your company inside the Council. A partnership investment puts your name in front of the whole industry, all year long, and funds the education and advocacy our members value most.
How partnership investment works
Partnership investments are completely voluntary. Your dues already cover full membership, and your membership is the same either way. A partnership investment gives your company a bigger presence and year-round recognition. There are two ways to invest.
Path 1
Annual Partnership Investment
Three investment levels, from $1,500 to $6,000 a year. An annual partnership investment is paid on top of your dues and any event registrations, booths or sponsorships you buy.
Council · Sustaining · Leadership
Path 2
The Partners’ Circle
Our highest level of partnership investment, from $20,000 to $40,000 a year. In the Circle, everything you spend with FPFC counts toward your level: events, sponsorships, booths and advertising.
Cornerstone · Executive · Legacy
