Become an Annual Conference Sponsor

Become a sponsor of the largest national gathering of American Indian/Alaska Native child welfare professionals dedicated to building the capacity of tribal nations to ensure that all Native children have safe, permanent homes. Every year we recruit a broad range of partners starting in August through to March to help underwrite this critical training event.

NICWA’s Protecting Our Children Conference is the largest national gathering focused on American Indian and Alaska Native child advocacy issues. We invite you to join us in 2025 in Orlando, Florida, for the 43rd Annual Protecting Our Children Conference to be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel at the Entrance to Universal Orlando in Orlando, Florida, on March 30–April 2, 2025.

Sponsoring NICWA’s Protecting Our Children Conference offers you the opportunity to reach a unique audience while directly supporting work to build the capacity of tribal nations to prevent child maltreatment and ensure that all Native children have access to community-based, culturally appropriate services that help them grow up safe, healthy, and spiritually strong.

For more information, contact April Black, development manager, at april@nicwa.org or (503) 222-4044.

In 2024 we offered practical, timely, and culturally relevant information to over 2,000 participants—frontline tribal child welfare and behavioral health workers, legal professionals, advocates for children and youth, and tribal, state, and federal government representatives. We thank our 2024 sponsors for their support, and you can read about the conference results and see a list of our sponsors in the 42nd Annual Protecting Our Children Sponsor Report.
