Why does Naace need Sponsoring Partners?

Naace seeks to influence policy at a national level through advice, membership of working parties, consultancy, response to policy documents and its own initiatives in the field of ICT in education. It is in regular, weekly, contact with key decision makers at the DCSF, QCA, Becta and other government departments and organisations in all four countries of the UK. These activities can incur considerable expense. Many Sponsoring Partners have been willing to share this expense with us. Naace is a charitable organisation which cannot meet its objectives purely through subscriptions paid by Members.

Two types of support from Sponsoring Partners

1. regular annual contribution of an agreed amount 2. sponsorship of specific activities, events and publications All Sponsoring Partners support the ongoing work of the Association via the first of these while many increase their involvement via the second.

Sponsorship enables Naace to

• conduct day-to-day and strategic business of the Association;
• represent Members in consultation with government, agencies, local authorities, commercial organisations and industry;
• fund development activity for mutual benefit;
• encourage and improve communication between Members and Sponsoring Partners;
• provide access to advice and support for Sponsoring Partners;
• confirm Sponsoring Partners’ commitment to the network of key players developing the effective use of ICT in education;
• develop ideas from Members and Sponsoring Partners into activities of mutual benefit.

Naace will not explicitly endorse any product, company or organisation.
