Leadership Transition FFI is undergoing a leadership shift with a new President and CEO appointed in 2026, signaling a potential openness to fresh partnerships, sponsorship opportunities, and strategic initiatives that can be aligned with their conservation and outreach goals.

Strategic Partnerships Recent collaboration announcements with NETrekk for the Flex System to support Safe Fish Handling for Soft Release indicate a willingness to engage with tech and gear partners, presenting opportunities for product sponsorships, co-branded campaigns, and conservation-focused programs.

Fundraising & Programs As a mid-sized nonprofit with revenue in the multi-million range, FFI likely needs scalable marketing, donor engagement, and event support services to drive sponsorships, memberships, and grants, especially around flagship events like FlyFest.

Event & Campaign Potential FlyFest 2026 presents a concentrated window for B2B and B2C activations, sponsorship packages, and experiential marketing to reach fishing communities, conservation-minded audiences, and potential corporate sponsors.

Digital & Outreach Needs FFI employs a mix of digital tools (advertising platforms, email marketing, content hosting) and has a large, engaged audience; there is opportunity to offer advanced digital fundraising, CRM optimization, and targeted outreach services to improve donor conversion and engagement.
