Partner Up—How Sponsors Can Elevate Your NPW

National Payroll Week® (NPW) celebrates the essential work payroll professionals do every day. One of the best ways to amplify your impact is by partnering with NPW sponsors or local businesses. Collaborating can boost the energy, visibility, and resources behind your events.

Here are a few ways you can collaborate with local businesses or NPW sponsors this year:

Invite Businesses to Your NPW Celebration

Local businesses and community organizations are often eager to support initiatives that promote financial knowledge, workforce education, and community engagement. Invite them to be part of your NPW plans by:

• Supplying giveaways, raffle prizes, or in-kind donations
• Helping underwrite food, beverages, or event costs
• Offering meeting space for workshops or Money Matters lessons
• Promoting NPW in their stores, newsletters, or digital channels

Even a small contribution can enhance your efforts while building goodwill between your organization and local partners.

Amplify NPW Awareness in Your Community

Businesses, especially those with strong community visibility, can play a key role in elevating NPW awareness. Ask partners to do the following:

• Display NPW posters, window clings, or table tents
• Share NPW messaging across their social media platforms
• Highlight local payroll professionals or financial education initiatives
• Help distribute “Getting Paid In America” survey information

Create Community-Focused Activities

Collaborative events offer a meaningful way to connect NPW with the wider community. Consider working with partners to host the following:

• Donation drives that support local nonprofits
• Neighborhood cleanups or volunteer days
• Community yard sales or fundraising events
• Free “Paycheck Basics” or Money Matters classes for the public

These activities show the payroll community’s dedication to service and education.

Make a Difference—Become an NPW Sponsor

For businesses that want to deepen their involvement, becoming an NPW sponsor is an opportunity to support financial literacy and strengthen ties with payroll professionals nationwide. Encourage interested partners to visit the NPW webpage “Become a Sponsor” to learn about available sponsorship levels and benefits.
