Revenue model

1. Corporate Sponsorships: NetIP Canada generates revenue primarily through corporate sponsorships. Organizations sponsor the organization at various tiers (Title, Gold, Silver, Bronze) and as corporate sponsors, providing financial support in exchange for brand visibility at events and within the South Asian professional community. The 2024 gala brought back after a 5-year hiatus was made possible by sponsor contributions.
2. Event Table Bookings: Revenue is generated through presale table bookings for the annual Diwali Awards Gala. Organizations and individuals purchase tables at the gala event, which serves as the primary annual fundraising vehicle for the organization.
