Support us Donate now the roundtable of patrons how the roundtable works The Roundtable of Patrons is a funding structure that allows organisations and stakeholders to support multiple initiatives across NNEdPro’s key areas of impact. 1. Patronage Contribution and Selection of Initiatives Each Patron contributes at their chosen tier level. Patrons at higher tiers can allocate their funding across multiple initiatives. For example, a Diamond Patron can choose up to 5 initiatives to support. A Ruby Patron can support 1-2 initiatives of their choice. Each patron directs their funding to specific areas, ensuring a targeted impact while benefiting from associated recognition and engagement opportunities. 2. The Summit vs. The Roundtable of Patrons The Summit has its own dedicated sponsorship model, while the Roundtable offers a flexible, long-term funding opportunity across multiple programmes. The Summit Supportership Packages (Platinum, Gold, Silver) are exclusive to the Summit. Organisations can support the Summit only through these packages, receiving event-specific benefits such as branding, speaking opportunities, and VIP access. The Roundtable of Patrons is a wider, year-round commitment that funds multiple initiatives, including the Summit if chosen, but it is not Summit-specific. 3. Can a Patron Support Both? Yes! An organisation can: Become a Summit Supporter through Platinum , Gold , or Silver sponsorship. Join the Roundtable of Patrons at Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, etc. to support broader initiatives. Do both—support the Summit separately while also funding additional initiatives via the Roundtable. tiers of patronage Each tier of patronage corresponds to a level of financial commitment and support, allowing stakeholders to engage at different levels. Since the Summit has its own supportership system, this patronage structure serves as a higher-level, year-round commitment that funds one or more initiatives. The tiers are as follows: Diamond Patron (Top Tier) – Supports multiple initiatives (e.g., 4-5 initiatives or major sponsorship of a flagship initiative). Emerald Patron – Supports 2-3 initiatives. Ruby Patron – Supports 1-2 initiatives. Sapphire Patron – Funds a specific project or a focused area within an initiative. Opal Patron (Entry-Level) – Provides general or unrestricted support. initiative alignment Each initiative falls within a grouping to help guide patrons towards supporting causes that align with their mission. Instead of treating initiatives as separate, they are clustered based on common themes, making it easier for organisations to choose an area that resonates with their priorities. Groupings include: Advancing Global Nutrition & Health Summit (flagship initiative) MTK International NNEdPro IANE Cutting-Edge Science & Research Data Science Human Intervention Studies BMJ Nutrition Education, Literacy & Capacity Building Summer School Literacy Libraries Leadership Training Sustainability & Future Innovations Sustainability Awards Symposium Each Patron Tier funds one or more initiatives within a grouping, ensuring that patrons can direct their contributions towards areas that reflect their values while maintaining flexibility in their impact. recognition & benefits Each tier of patronage comes with exclusive benefits to recognise and reward supporters for their contributions. Diamond Patron Named as a "Principal Patron" on all funded initiatives. Receives VIP invitations to the Summit and networking events. Gains priority branding on the website, reports, and social media. Has the opportunity to provide thought leadership through a strategic advisory role. Emerald Patron Recognised as a "Lead Patron" for selected initiatives. Invited to high-level roundtable discussions. Featured in patron newsletters and research reports. Ruby Patron Recognised as a "Major Patron" . Featured on initiative-specific promotional materials. Receives complimentary passes to select events. Sapphire Patron Recognised as a "Key Patron" . Invited to special donor updates and briefings. Opal Patron Acknowledged on the website and in select publications as a “Supporting Patron” . Receives regular impact updates.
