Institute for Innovation and Economic Development

Become a sponsor

The iiED programs are made possible through the generous donation of time and financial resources from faculty, staff, administration, alumni, community and corporate donors.

There are many ways individuals and organizations can choose to help ensure the successful launch and growth of the iiED and its impact on students, faculty and community members and their partnerships with California’s entrepreneurial community.

In addition to volunteering, advocating, and providing students with exposure, financial support is critical to achieving our mission.
