POWERING PURPOSE, UPLIFTING COMMUNITIES
The Grita tu Identidad State Tour is more than a conferenceโitโs a movement rooted in collaboration. We partner with trusted local and national organizations, community leaders, and culturally rooted institutions to extend our reach and deepen our impact. These partnerships are essential to delivering transformative experiences and ensuring immigrant women have access to the tools, voices, and networks that support their emotional, mental, and professional well-being.
Why Partnerships Matter?
Each partner plays a crucial role in amplifying our mission to empower immigrant women, reduce barriers to mental health care, and foster inclusive leadership.
These collaborations make it possible to:
Mobilize trusted voices within communities
Deliver culturally relevant programs and services
Provide on-the-ground support and resource navigation
Build a sustainable network of change rooted in equity, healing, and empowerment
Opportunities to Collaborate
We invite aligned partners who are committed to equity, inclusion, and the power of community to join us in this vital work.
Ideal partnership opportunities include:
Community-Based Organizations with strong ties to immigrant, refugee, or rural populations
Local Wellness & Health Providers delivering culturally competent behavioral or physical health services
Educational Initiatives that promote leadership, literacy, or social empowerment
Local Media Outlets & Women-Led Businesses that amplify diverse voices and stories
Together, we build more than a conferenceโwe create a legacy of belonging, advocacy, and bold transformation for the next generation of Latina and immigrant women leaders.
Grita Tu Identidad is a conference dedicated to healing, empowerment, and community connection. We invite local businesses, organizations, and partners to join us in bringing this transformative event to life through in-kind or logistical support rather than monetary contributions.
Each sponsorship tier reflects a theme of empowerment and the vital role our partners play in nurturing wellness and belonging.
