Sponsorship contributions directly fund LAB's nonprofit educational programming. In exchange, a small number of partners each year get a genuine, personally-vouched-for introduction to a curated group of Southern California CEOs and founders.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, LAB relies on a small number of corporate and community partners each year to fund its peer-education programming for Southern California founders and CEOs — and, in turn, get to know that community first-hand.
Your sponsorship directly funds LAB's curated lunches, member-company visits, and leadership education for Southern California founders and CEOs — LAB's core charitable purpose.
Offer a short, substantive perspective during roundtable discussions — professional insight in service of the group, not a sales presentation.
Recognition across event communications, a brief introduction (2–5 minutes) at each sponsored event, and help facilitating check-in to build real relationships with attendees.
Sit in on candid discussions to understand, first-hand, the challenges facing the founders and CEOs your sponsorship reaches.

LAB is grateful to the following organizations for funding its educational programming this year.
Not every supporter needs to be a firm buying access to the room. As a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation, LAB can also be funded by grant-making foundations and mission-aligned community organizations supporting leadership development, small-business education, and regional economic development — with no expectation of commercial introductions in return.
For grant inquiries or letters of interest, see LAB's EIN, 501(c)(3) status, and governance details on our Nonprofit Info page, then reach out — we're happy to provide whatever documentation your due-diligence process requires.
