Sponsorship at Small Wars Journal

Support the Mission. Share Your Story

Small Wars Journal (SWJ) is more than a publication—it’s a community of scholars, practitioners, and readers dedicated to advancing understanding of irregular warfare, security, and conflict in the modern world. With more than 350,000 monthly page views, a growing global audience, and a long-standing reputation for thought leadership, SWJ provides a unique platform to connect with defense, security, and academic professionals.

We are moving beyond traditional advertising. Instead, we now invite organizations to partner with us as Sponsors. Sponsorship directly supports our mission and ensures SWJ remains an independent, open forum for critical ideas.

What Sponsorship Means

By becoming a Sponsor, your organization helps sustain SWJ through donations or trades of services that strengthen our work. In return, we highlight your support through:

• Sponsor Recognition – Placement of tasteful banner ads integrated seamlessly into our content, ensuring visibility without disrupting the reader experience. Please note: SWJ does not allow call-to-action ads, video/motion ads, or pop-ups—ever.

• Sponsored Content – An opportunity to share thought leadership articles or announcements that align with SWJ’s mission.

• Community Engagement – Visibility with an audience that values serious, substantive contributions to security and defense discussions.

Why Sponsor SWJ?

We work with sponsors on a case-by-case basis to tailor recognition that fits your goals and supports our mission. Sponsorship can take the form of:

• Monetary donations

• In-kind services (technical support, design, hosting, etc.)

• Event partnerships or collaborative projects

Get Involved

If your organization shares our mission and wants to support serious conversation on conflict and security, we invite you to join us as a Sponsor.
