Thank you for your interest in partnering with (DE-FI) Global INC™. Our Partnership Pathways include Corporate Strategic Partners, Cross Event and Runway Sponsorships, and (DE-FI) Honors Guild™ and Brand Exposure opportunities. Each tier, from Disruptive Strategic Partner to Barrier Remover, is designed to fuel the talent pipeline, own the runway moments, and celebrate excellence while giving your organization targeted visibility and measurable impact. This inquiry form helps us understand which partnership or sponsorship tier you are considering, your budget range, and how you hope to align with our work across Dayton, Cincinnati, and the broader Midwest fashion ecosystem.
From launching Dayton’s first fashion design school to advancing regional workforce development through garment manufacturing, sustainable innovation, agriculture, STEM, and entrepreneurship, our strategic partnerships are rooted in purpose and impact.
Please note: Non-Negotiable Sponsorship Exclusions
To uphold the integrity of our mission and protect the well-being of our community, (DE-FI) Global INC™ will not accept sponsorships or partnerships from companies or organizations involved in:
• Cosmetic surgery and surgical enhancement
• Permanent makeup and tattoo-based cosmetic services
• Body modification practices marketed for aesthetic enhancement
• Injection-based cosmetic services (e.g., Botox, fillers)
• “Medical spa” procedures designed solely for cosmetic alteration
• Plastic surgery clinics, chains, or promotional platforms
These exclusions ensure our programming does not contribute to or amplify systems that feed insecurity, distort identity, or apply unnecessary pressure on our models, designers, students, and community.
We welcome partners who align with our values of empowerment, creative innovation, intentional growth, and holistic wellness. If your vision aligns with ours, come grow with us!
