Question

Is there a maximum number of sponsorship options that should be included within the letter?

Community Answer

Don't add too many, or you might make yourself look desperate and like you'd do anything, which isn't very professional or promising for a potential sponsor. A smaller number is always better than having 15 different options to choose from. You also have to think about how busy the people you are writing to are, they simply won't be able to spend a lot of time on your letter.

Question

How do I request companies to sponsor a school and entertainment program for students?

Community Answer

Maybe if you convince the companies by saying that you will mention their name in school newsletters, the printed program for the event and allow them to leave flyers at the event. You could also offer to deliver a brief description of their companies' services and/or products at the beginning of the play.

Question

I already contacted my sponsor and they specifically told me to email my request. Should I insist on sending a letter?

Community Answer

That is a good question. It is probably best to follow through with the email as it might seem annoying to them that you've disregarded their request. However, the person who informed you of this may not be fully aware of the process and it can still be useful to follow through with the proper letter format. That way, you have two chances for it to be received and acknowledged.

Question

I've started an organization, the purpose of which is to groom and develop young local unrecognized artists. How do I find sponsorship? I've tried several companies that have thrown me on a long waiting list.

Community Answer

Are you an actual 501(c)3? Are their donations tax deductible? There are a lot of art grants for legitimate non-profits.

C Grace

Community Answer

The steps in this article are fairly generic and should be adaptable to many different types of events. Make a list of possible sponsors in your area and then compose a letter about your soccer club and how it would benefit them to get involved.

Question

How can I find a sponsor to help fund the fees for school for my child?

Community Answer

Research online or ask someone you know for names of entities, for example, small businesses and organizations, that are within the same industry as your child education interest. Namely, if your child wants to become a real estate agent, find a real estate company or broker to sponsor the fees for your child's real estate course.
