Sponsorship Opportunities
Impact on the Plains is our community’s premiere social innovation competition, modeled after the popular TV show “Shark Tank,” that pursues bold solutions to complex social issues.

The event promotes an entrepreneurial ethos in the nonprofit ecosystem to transform the landscape of social services for our neighbors in need. Top nonprofits will pitch their bright idea to community leaders serving as a judges at a live event with over 400 attendees. At the end of the night, winners receive investments to scale their programs and transform their work.
As a sponsor, your company will help fuel innovative, community-driven solutions and demonstrate a commitment to strengthening the nonprofit sector. United Way will create custom sponsorship packages upon request. Learn more about Impact on the Plains.
