NCBW 33rd Annual CBC Legislative Weekend Awards Brunch “OUR STORIES MATTER: A LOOK AT INCLUSION”

SPONSORSHIP PROSPECTUS

The annual NCBW CBC Legislative Weekend Awards Brunch is the signature fundraiser of The National Congress of Black Women. This year’s theme: “Our Stories Matter: A Look at Inclusion,” reflects our ambition to increase access to technology to underrepresented women of color and build social enterprises that eliminate gender bias for women.

Over the past thirty-three years, the NCBW has raised more than $10 million toward women’s initiatives, gender inclusion, youth programs and families, and brings together business leaders, government officials, policymakers, journalists and community leaders. This network builds critical support for the mission of NCBW to engage in research on critical issues uniquely affecting the quality of life of women of color, their families and communities.

The Brunch is traditionally the concluding event to the Congressional Black Caucus Annual Legislative Conference weekend and will be hosted at The Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington VA. The highly anticipated event promises to be fun, with engaging speakers, a live auction and entertainment. Funds raised at the Brunch provide direct support to NCBW programs.

First Lady Michelle Obama presents Bust of Sojourner Truth in the US Capitol with NCBW, guests and Members of Congress.

Brunch Attendee Profile

Niche Market Advertising Target Overview: African Americans Affluents■ There are 62 million U.S. Affluents, a segment that’s grown by six percent

since 2010 that includes African Americans.

■ African American current buying power of $1 trillion is forecasted to reach $1.3 trillion by the year 2017.

■ Think about the price-tag of $1.1 trillion dollars. If we were talking about countries, Africa America would be the 16th biggest economy in the world.

■ The black population is young, hip and highly influential. African Americans are growing 64 % faster than the general market.

Niche Marketing Advantage™

“With a current buying power of $1 trillion that is forecasted to reach $1.3 trillion by the year 2017*, the importance of connecting with African-American consumers is more important than ever.”

■ It is not language that distinguishes connectivity with African-Americans, but a brand’s ability to understand the Black experience and cultural nuances that resonate with Blacks. Blacks are more receptive to messages when they feel valued.

■ Advertisers’ spending with media focused on Black audiences is just 3% of $75 billion spent in 2012 on television, magazines, internet, and radio advertisements.

■ Advertisers should not discount the effectiveness of local media such as magazines, newspapers, and special events and reach African-Americans in environments and settings where they are more comfortable and receptive.

■ African Americans Support the brands, products, and services that run relevant to their culture and support advertisers that speak directly to them.
