Sponsorship Opportunities
Investing in Collaboration and Change
We are grateful for our corporate sponsors, individual members, and donors who continue to help us move our mission forward! As a 501(c)(3) public non-profit charity, our work is funded through donations, sponsorships, and memberships.
As the Institute continues to grow, we are grateful for the active involvement of our sponsors on task forces and project teams and encourage new sponsors to join us as well.
Our sponsorships are designed to support our work, which is focused on three pillars:
- Testing & Validation
- Surface Selection
- Cleaning & Disinfection
The work happening within each of the pillars includes – but is not limited to – research, development of guidelines and standards, educational programs, and so much more.

Our Sponsorship Levels
Research Contributor
$25,000–50,000
Sponsors in this category pay for specific research the Institute has identified for the year or contribute to a new project.
Surface Testing & Validation Task Force Sponsor
$30,000
This task force will work to develop test methods, testing processes, reporting recommendations, and create IFU templates.
Under HSI’s Testing & Validation pillar, the Institute has recently launched a research project to gather data and information from healthcare professionals about the challenges and barriers they face when following Instructions for Use (IFUs) for this task force.
Education Sponsor
$18,000
Sponsors in this category support our ongoing webinars, town hall meetings, and the implementation of our Surface Selection Certification curriculum. Education sponsors can also have HSI present educational programs related to surface safety to your target audience (not product-specific).
Collaboration Sponsor
$5,000
This category is designed for organizations looking to support HSI without active involvement or those not wanting to utilize Institute services. These sponsors demonstrate unwavering commitment to the Institute’s mission to finding multi-modal sustainable solutions. They recognize that driving the necessary changes requires collaborative effort rather than relying solely on individual initiatives.
This category funds HSI’s operating expenses, such as our website, newsletter, outreach, and other operating costs.
