Sound off with your support! Become a WPAOG sponsor today!

USMA Grads

Customize your sponsorship package

All sponsorship opportunities are open to customization based on the sponsor’s mission and initiatives. In addition to the outlined promotional opportunities for each donation, your sponsorship is also a tax-deductible gift—minus a portion associated with tangible benefits such as event tickets. (Sponsor may waive any or all tangible benefits.)

Why is sponsorship important?

Becoming a WPAOG sponsor helps connect members of the Long Gray Line to organizations that have missions aligned with WPAOG and its graduates. In addition, sponsorships support graduates, veterans, service members and their families by increasing their access to both digital and in-person programs. Sponsorship also ensures that, throughout your sponsorship period, your organization’s support is embedded within the alumni experience. If you would like to become a WPAOG sponsor in perpetuity, event endowments are available through WPAOG Planned Giving.
