50th Anniversary Gala Sponsorship

Collaboration, community and partnerships are key to creating impact. As a community focused on supporting, honoring and promoting women, we understand and believe in the power of support—which is why our sponsors and partners matter. Our Gala offers an opportunity for sponsors and partners to celebrate with us, leverage the opportunity for promotion and awareness of all the good that you do, and, most importantly, expand reach and impact. 

Founded in 1974, WMG is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women in publishing and media at every stage of their careers. We do this through educational programs and networking events, both in-person and virtual. We now have more than 500 members drawn primarily from book, magazine, and newspaper publishing; film and television; and online and other digital media. We also provide significant financial support to women from diverse backgrounds planning to pursue careers in media by providing scholarships and fellowships in partnership with top-tier colleges and universities, including Columbia, Fordham, and New York University. We are proud to be celebrating our 50th anniversary this year!

The Women's Media Group Educational Foundation is our 501(c)3 arm, which raises money for scholarships and professional development opportunities. WMG has funded more than 50 Scholarship and Fellowship winners, and almost 100 paid media industry internships.
