Sponsorship Opportunities
The success of AFE’s Fire Ecology Congress depends upon the generosity and involvement of our Sponsors, Donors, Partners, and Collaborators. And our conferences are more interesting and valuable to our attendees because of our Exhibitors. See the topics in this section to learn more about how you can contribute to this event.
Contributions can be submitted directly on our website using credit cards or PayPal in amounts up to $10,000 per transaction.
Become A Sponsor
The Association for Fire Ecology is seeking general support from government agencies, business organizations, and institutions ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 and higher. Your support of the Fire Congress will help us keep registration fees low and provide opportunities to present research and management findings to professionals working in the fields of social science, fire ecology and fire management.
Lower fees will help broaden participation by federal, state, and local government employees, private non-profit organizations, and students in the field of fire ecology and related disciplines.
