Explore Partnership Opportunities
The National WIC Association invites businesses and nonprofit organizations that share our mission, vision, and guiding principles for health equity to partner with us and/or to become a sponsor. WIC is the nation’s premier public health nutrition program and NWA recognizes that public and private partnerships have the potential to accomplish far more for WIC families when organizations work together. A partnership with NWA will increase your company or organization’s visibility, provide networking and engagement opportunities, and help you meet your company’s business and corporate responsibility goals.
Please note: NWA no longer invites infant formula manufacturers to be members, exhibitors at conferences, advertisers, or sponsors of events and activities. Please see our Statement on Progress Towards the Gold Standard for more information on how NWA works on helping WIC to reach the Gold Standard and make WIC the nation’s Premier Go-To-Breastfeeding Program.
