Event Co-sponsorship
The Roberta Buffett Institute invites requests to co-sponsor events organized by Northwestern University faculty, staff, and/or students.
To request event co-sponsorship, please complete the online application form as soon as possible, ideally four or more weeks before the event. (You may view a PDF of the application before applying.) Applicants generally receive a response within two weeks of submission.
The Institute accepts applications for co-sponsorship on a rolling basis during the academic year. Applicants may request promotional support and/or funding. Please note that the Institute's co-sponsorship funding generally ranges from $500 to $1,500. Northwestern faculty seeking more significant funding may instead apply for the Institute's Global Collaboration Grant.
Applications are evaluated based on their connection and potential contributions to the Institute’s mission. Previous events co-sponsored by the Buffett Institute include lectures, workshops, conferences, film screenings, and webinars. Faculty, staff, and students from any school or office at Northwestern may apply for co-sponsorship.
Please contact the Institute's Director for Global Communications & Engagement, May Malone, with any questions.
