Strategic Sponsorship 2026

Invest in the
infrastructure
women are
building.

HIKE with Her is Spokane's women-led economic infrastructure — a directory, community platform, and capital pathway serving the full Inland Northwest women's workforce. Sponsorship is not advertising. It's alignment. Your brand becomes part of what's being built.

🎯

Targeted visibility

Your brand in front of women who are actively building businesses, making purchasing decisions, and looking for partners they can trust.

🏗

Infrastructure alignment

Not an ad buy — alignment with the organization building women's economic infrastructure in this region. That's a different kind of brand signal.

📍

Local, not generic

Spokane and Inland Northwest. Real community, real faces, real events. Your investment stays here and the visibility is specific and meaningful.

📊

Measurable impact

Quarterly reporting on reach, engagement, and event attendance. You'll know exactly what your partnership is doing — not just feel good about it.

Who you're reaching

Not a demographic.
A community.

HIKE serves the full women's workforce — not a curated slice of polished entrepreneurs. That means your sponsorship reaches women across every industry, career stage, and life situation in the Inland Northwest. Women who are actively engaged, looking for resources, and paying attention to which organizations show up for their community.

These are also women who talk to each other — and who notice which brands are genuinely invested versus just placing ads.

🏗

Business Owners & Founders

Making purchasing, vendor, and partnership decisions. Actively looking to grow, refer, and be referred within the HIKE network.

💼

Professionals & Employees

Career-focused women navigating workplaces and looking for community, development resources, and organizations that invest in them.

🌐

Executives & Org Leaders

Cross-sector decision-makers with purchasing authority and influence over organizational partnerships, vendors, and initiatives.

🎓

Emerging Leaders

The next generation of Spokane's women's workforce — brand loyal, community-oriented, and paying close attention to who shows up.

🏠

Caregivers & Stay-at-Home Parents

Managing household budgets and decisions. Often returning to the workforce. A demographic most sponsors haven't figured out how to reach authentically.

🤝

Nonprofit & Community Leaders

Building partnerships, allocating resources, and shaping community initiatives. Connected to networks that amplify your brand's visibility organically.
