Sponsor a Family Diplomat
Think family is important? Then, help Learning Life give voice to families worldwide.
Across the world, families are widely valued, directly impacted by global trends and events, yet they are given little to no voice in the decisions of governments, businesses, media and nonprofits that affect their lives. Since 2016, Learning Life has been developing the Family Diplomacy Initiative (FDI), a grassroots, long-term effort to build a more peaceful, caring world by empowering families to participate in policy decision-making at local to global levels.
Yes, we’re ambitious, but we’re cost-effectively leveraging the power of family and the internet, and we’re making progress: we have over 17,000 people worldwide connected to FDI, we’ve engaged hundreds of people worldwide in family-focused dialogues, and in 2022 we began training international family diplomats (FDs) online in citizen diplomacy, storytelling, and global family trends and issues in order to advocate effectively for families.
You or your organization can help by investing in family diplomacy training. In 2024, it costs Learning Life an average of $1,000 to recruit, train and evaluate one FD. Accordingly, here are the sponsor levels for organizations and individuals:
Organizations:
Gold ($5,000): Fund the training of 5 Family Diplomats
Silver ($3,000): Fund the training of 3 Family Diplomats
Bronze ($1,000): Fund the training of 1 Family Diplomat
Individuals:
Gold ($1,000): Fund the training of 1 Family Diplomat.
Silver ($500): Fund half the training of 1 Family Diplomat.
Bronze ($250): Fund a quarter of the training of 1 Family Diplomat.
All sponsors have the choice to sponsor and connect with a particular FD. You can meet some of our FDs. All sponsors are announced (unless you or your organization choose to remain anonymous) via Learning Life’s website, e-newsletter, and social media pages on Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter, reaching over 30,000 people worldwide. All sponsors also get invited to special international family diplomacy events, and have the opportunity to be profiled at Learning Life’s website. Here is an example of a sponsor/stakeholder profile. Sponsor contributions are 100% tax deductible in the USA. As desired, organizational Gold sponsors get more personalized and customized access to Learning Life’s large and growing network in metro Washington DC, and worldwide.
