• General Support.
• General sponsorship of one of the Institute's three core study program areas (Business & Economics; Foreign & Domestic Policy; or Society, Culture & Politics).
• A specific program-related publication or event (excluding the Global Leadership Award Dinner).
• Any combination of the above.
