Be an integral part of the natural products industry

The Naturally Network is the national industry organization representing the natural, organic, and better-for-you consumer goods industry. Our community is anchored throughout the country by our regional Naturally chapters - Austin, Bay Area, Boulder, Chicago, Los Angeles, Minnesota, New York, North Bay, and San Diego. We have 5,000+ members and an audience of 21,000+ and growing! The Naturally Network is a 501c6 nonprofit membership organization.

Partnership with Naturally Network offers authentic ways to connect your brand and your team to the natural, organic, and better-for-you consumer goods industry. The value of the Partnership is rooted in corporate memberships to connect your team on the ground in regions that matter to your business most, comprehensive brand awareness that spans the Network’s major moments annually, and nationally coordinated thought leadership and relationship building across our regional chapters. National Partners also enjoy broader administrative control over their involvement through centralized team membership management.

Something to consider when building your annual engagement:

• Where do you do business? Which regional chapters are most important to your team?

• How many team members would you like to offer membership to?

The minority-owned fellowship program is a 12-week program supporting the success of underrepresented founders. Applications open in July with the curriculum running from October - through January. The fellowship program includes weekly classes with industry experts, facilitated networking and fireside chat events with leaders and founders, and an assigned Adviser for coaching and support for the program’s duration.

The M/O Fellowship aims to expand diversity on the shelf as well as serve the evolving needs of consumers by supporting the earliest stage founders and support their journey down the business maturity cycle. The program was piloted at Naturally Austin and served ~100 founders in its first two cohorts. Your support for this program allows us to expand nationally and scale our impact.

The Women in CPG Summit brings together women and non-binary CPG founders and professionals across the country annually for an inspired multi-day program filled with content for women, by women. The Summit blends virtual content for ease of access with engaging in-person experiences anchored by our regional chapters. In 2022, the Women in CPG Summit brought together 1,000+ women in the industry.
