Corporate sponsors are a great alternative to the typical grants and individual donors when looking for support for one of your special events or programs. But developing unique sponsorship packages that offer valuable incentives for donors, as well as deciding which companies to solicit and then knowing whom to contact, can be overwhelming and time-consuming.

 

At Brick47, we can help you implement a five-step sponsor solicitation process to make your event or program more profitable and establish key relationships for future events.

 

First, our specialists will develop specific sponsorship packages before ever approaching potential sponsors. With your input, we will determine exactly what your organization can offer in return for varying sponsorship amounts. This will make your solicitation more appealing to potential sponsors by moving away from the traditional charitable giving concept toward a mutually beneficial partnership.

 

Second, we will collaborate with your team on a list of companies whose vision, mission and main lines of business best match those of your organization, event or program.

 

Next, together we will select a number of companies to contact and create a timeline for approaching them.

 

Then, we will develop custom-tailored sponsorship proposals for each potential sponsor, and determine the appropriate contact person at each company that has the authority and resources to make sponsorship decisions.

 

And finally, a Brick47 specialist will help your organization with follow-thru once a sponsor has been secured to ensure their needs are met and surpassed so that they will be eager to return as a donor and a long-standing partnership can be formed.
