have a  free download for you so let's get to it now just starting with the basics and I know  you already probably know this but sponsorship   is a mutually beneficial relationship between  a non-profit organization and a sponsor and the   sponsor provides Financial or other support in  exchange for certain benefits and recognition   now aside from financial support non-profit  sponsorship can help Charities increase awareness   for your cause build your brand and Foster  Community relationships it can also provide   networking opportunities and increases your  organization's credibility now there are several   types of non-profit sponsorships to consider  including General sponsors event sponsors program   sponsors and media sponsors just to name a few so  General sponsors provide ongoing support for your   organization while event sponsors Provide support  for a specific event or fundraising campaign and   program sponsors support specific programs  or services and media sponsorship provides   exposure through advertising or promotion now  understanding the different types of non-profit   sponsorship can help you identify the best  sponsorship opportunities for your organization   now the million dollar question how do you get  sponsors for your non-profit the first step in   getting sponsors for your nonprofit is to identify  potential prospects now I start by researching   companies or individuals connected to the cause  or Mission I also like to see what companies are   sponsoring other organizations I often use lists  in my local town There's an organization that puts   out a list every year on the top companies to  work for and top Revenue generating businesses   there's Prospect research programs you can use  and even the newspaper you can also reach out to   your network of supporters board stakeholders  staff and ask them for referrals now here's a   pro tip LinkedIn is an excellent resource for  Prospect research and we did a video on that a   little while back with elk okay and I will link  that in the description now once I've compiled a   list of prospects identify the key decision makers  or departments that I reach out to them to get a   little bit more information on their sponsorship  guidelines and begin to build a relationship now   before you begin drafting Your sponsorship package  defining Your sponsorship levels and recognition   pieces is vital when it comes to non-profit  sponsorships there's typically four levels of   sponsorship platinum gold silver and bronze and  what you name these levels is up to you but each   level corresponds to a certain amount of financial  or in-kind support and comes with different   benefits of recognition determining the value of  each of these categories depends on what a major   gift is for your organization if for you a major  gift is five thousand then a platinum would be   right around that amount if it's twenty thousand  dollars then that would be more reasonable for a   platinum sponsor by offering different sponsorship  levels you can attract a wide range of potential   sponsors and provide them with customized benefits  or recognition so what do sponsors get in return   so sponsors support non-profit organizations  for varying reasons because they believe in   the mission they want to make a difference they  may be in it for the cause marketing and being   tied to a reputable organization or team building  again they support for various reasons but what do   sponsors get in return for their support so we do  our research on potential sponsors and keep these   reasons in mind when crafting our sponsorship  package so there's brand exposure sponsors can   receive exposure through branded signage speaking  opportunities advertising social media and other   promotional materials there's networking  opportunities sponsors can connect with other   sponsors donors and supporters of your non-profit
