But the road to securing one can be a point of stress in your event planning. A recent survey stated that <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/blog\/event-statistics-ds00\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">90% of event planners<\/a> put finding an event sponsor as one of their top two concerns.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you get an event sponsor?

Typically, the sponsor will give monetary or <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blog\/in-kind-donations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in-kind donations<\/a> to support the event.<\/p>\n<p>In return, the sponsor gets perks like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Having their name and logo on promotional materials<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Exposure to new audience<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Gives competitive edge<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Shows social responsibility<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And for the organization, benefits of having an event sponsor include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Helping to offset costs<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Driving more attendees<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Boosting your organization\u2019s profile<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Widening your audience<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">And more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Ideally, you and your sponsor share similar values and interests. Your missions should be complementary!<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019ll be easy. What you put in is what you get out. A successful event sponsorship is about both the sponsor and the organization working together to create a win-win situation.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;\">Why is Event Sponsorship Important?<\/h2>\n<p>Having an event sponsor can help out your organization in a lot of ways. If you\u2019re reading this blog, you\u2019re probably already thinking about adding this to your event strategy. But let\u2019s hone in on why it <em>really<\/em> matters and how it can benefit you!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">1. Diversifies Your Revenue<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to develop your <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blog\/nonprofit-revenue-streams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revenue streams<\/a>, having an event sponsor is a great place to start. Getting sponsorship from a company means you\u2019ll get a significant, reliable amount of money from one source that can make a big impact on top of any other revenue sources you may have.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">2. Provides In-Kind Support<\/h3>\n<p>Your event sponsor\u2019s support doesn\u2019t have to be monetary. A company can give you in-kind donations to help you offset costs or bring your event to the next level. If there are gaps in your expertise or exclusive items you\u2019d like access to that a sponsor could help with, an in-kind donation might be the answer.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">3. Creates Company Partnerships<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned, a winning event sponsorship is when you\u2019re partnered with a company with similar values and missions. Why? It opens the door for future collaborations, and the potential for a long term, mutually beneficial partnership.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">4. Gives Exposure to New Audiences<\/h3>\n<p>An event sponsor is a great way to meet new audiences (for both you and your sponsor!). You\u2019ll get exposure to their partners and customers, while they\u2019ll get exposure to your nonprofit. This widens your reach and can be a way to potentially attract new members or volunteers to your organization.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">5. Adds Credibility to Your Organization<\/h3>\n<p>If you choose to partner with a well-known company, having them as a sponsor adds credibility to your organization. By being your event sponsor, they\u2019ve already vouched for you. People who are already familiar with them and trust them will be more likely to extend that to you.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;\">What Are the 4 Types of Event Sponsorship?<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your organization and its needs, there may be one type of sponsorship that\u2019s better-suited for your event over others.<\/p>\n<p>To help you make the right decision, here are the four main types of event sponsorship:<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">1. Financial<\/h3>\n<p>The most common type, where the sponsor gives cash and the organization offers perks, publicity, or benefits in return.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">2. In-kind<\/h3>\n<p>Rather than giving money, the sponsor gives services or goods. Examples of in-kind donations include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Prizes<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Venue support<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Food<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Digital sponsor (apps, social media, media wall, etc).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">3. Media event<\/h3>\n<p>If your event sponsor is a media outlet, their support can be through a free ad, funding for your advertising or help with general publicity.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">4. Promotional partner<\/h3>\n<p>This is similar to a media event sponsor. The main difference is that it\u2019s an individual using their own channels to promote your event \u2013 such as a social media influencer.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;\">How to Find an Event Sponsor<\/h2>\n<p>Okay, but how exactly do you find event sponsorship opportunities?<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of ways to go about it. You can either:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Look within your own network<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\">Use tools and research<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at what both options look like.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">Look Within Your Network<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019d be surprised to find out that maybe the best sponsorship you can get for your event is already among the people you know.<\/p>\n<p>According to Cause Marketing expert Joe Waters of Selfish Giving, there are <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blog\/how-to-get-sponsorship#who-to-reach-out-to-first\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three main types of people<\/a> you can reach out to in your network:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>Supporters <\/strong>&#8211; Existing supporters in your organization. They\u2019re already on your side and are the people you should reach out to first!<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>Contacts<\/strong> &#8211; People who know you, but haven\u2019t given money to your organization yet. They\u2019re usually familiar with your mission and are people you should reach out to after your Supporters.<\/li>\n<li style=\"line-height: 1.38;\" role=\"presentation\"><strong>Suspects &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>These are people you don&#8217;t know. They know nothing about your organization and are the most difficult people to reach out to. Contact them last.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Make a list of people within your network that make up the first two categories, and how you\u2019d like to go about finding people in the last category. Which leads us to our next method, which is using tools and research.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;\">Use Tools and Research<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve contacted Supporters and Contacts and want to find some good Suspects. Or maybe you just want to expand your outreach from the get go. Whatever your motivation, here are some other ways you can find an event sponsor using tools and research.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"caret-color: #000000; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Use digital tools like:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/sponsorparkconsulting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SponsorPark<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sponseasy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SponEasy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/sponsormyevent.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SponsorMyEvent<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/opensponsorship.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenSponsorship<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/sponsorpitch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sponsorpitch<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Research related events and reach out to past sponsors<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Research brands that align with your organization\u2019s missions<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Survey your members and get their input<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;\">11 Tips for Getting Event Sponsorship<\/h2>\n<p>Alright, so you\u2019ve got a dream list of the people you want to reach out to.<\/p>\n<p>Before you start creating your sponsorship package or crafting your <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blog\/how-to-write-a-sponsorship-letter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sponsorship letter<\/a>, here are 11 tips for <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/memberclicks.com\/blog\/upping-your-event-sponsorship-game-4-ideas-to-try\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attracting the right sponsor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">1. Explain the sponsor benefits<\/h3>\n<p>Make sure that your sponsor knows what they\u2019ll get out of your event and why it stands out from others. You can highlight benefits like:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"caret-color: #000000; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Past successes and impact stories<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Sponsor incentives like:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Branded videos<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Social media content<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Event swag and goodies<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Return on investment (ROI)<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Visibility<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Reach<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"2\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Engagement<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">2. Write a comprehensive description<\/h3>\n<p>Describe your event in a way that makes sponsoring feel like a no-brainer. This comes down to know your WHY. This includes things like:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"caret-color: #000000; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Your projected impact<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Your audience demographics<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">The community and cause you\u2019re serving<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Your mission<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Your organization\u2019s story<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">3. Create a winning sponsorship package<\/h3>\n<p>When you\u2019re creating your sponsorship package, be creative, flexible, and only include crucial information. What you include should rebuff any statement that says, \u201cSo what?\u201d. Above all, focus on your sponsor\u2019s interests, budget, and needs. You\u2019ll also want to give them more than one sponsorship option to consider.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">5. Offer low-commitment options<\/h3>\n<p>Some companies may hesitate because of their size or resources. So offer sponsorship options that speak to those needs like:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"caret-color: #000000; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">In-kind donations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\" role=\"presentation\">Scalable cash donations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This means you\u2019ll probably need more than one sponsor. However, having a range of sponsors comes with its own benefits. You\u2019ll be growing your network of companies that know and support your organization, which means a wider audience for your event!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">6. Reach out to supporters<\/h3>\n<p>As we mentioned, your network is powerful! Reach out to the people you know. And if they end up saying no to sponsoring you, don\u2019t consider this as a final close door. They may know of similar brands or companies that would.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">7. Reach out to established brands<\/h3>\n<p>It comes as no surprise that established brands have audiences that know them well and trust them. That good rapport can help boost your event, your organization\u2019s recognition, and ultimately expand your reach.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">8. Data, data, data<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s power behind good numbers. Besides your audience demographics, take a look at past event surveys you may have done and what data you can use for your pitch. When information is quantified with impressive stats, it creates a convincing argument.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">9. Contact the right person<\/h3>\n<p>Do your research for your prospective sponsors and identify who the best contact is within the company or <a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wildapricot.com\/blog\/corporate-sponsorship-nonprofits\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">corporation<\/a>. Often, this is someone who works in the marketing department.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">10. Build your connection<\/h3>\n<p>A good relationship is never rushed! Take time to get to know your prospective sponsor. If you have them on your list of potential sponsors, it means you likely have shared interests and values. Use that as a jumping off point for building a genuine connection.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 16pt; margin-bottom: 4pt;\">11. Follow up<\/h3>\n<p>Follow up in a timely manner. Be professional, concise, and personable. Sometimes people just want to know that someone is willing to listen to them. But also remember: if someone says no, that doesn\u2019t mean no forever. Keep them on a list to reach out to for your next event.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"caret-color: #000000; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;\">What Are Examples of Event Sponsorship?<\/h2>\n<p>What your event sponsorship ends up looking like can take a wide range of forms.
