Becoming a Sponsor
Each year, Discovering Justice aims to raise more than $400,000 at our spring gala. These funds will provide thousands of students across Massachusetts with access to enriching civics programs that emphasize critical thinking, compassion, and self-discernment, to encourage students to be bold leaders and agents for change in their communities.
The success of our gala each year wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our sponsors. We are offering a number of sponsorship packages with varying benefits. For a breakdown of those benefits by sponsorship level, and for more information about how Gala sponsorship supports our programs and students, you can download our 2024 Gala Sponsorship Kit below.
If you’re interested in showcasing your organization at the next Discovering Justice Gala through sponsorship, please contact Development and Administrative Associate Katherine Susich at ksusich@discoveringjustice.org. Thank you for your support!
