Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find corporate sponsorship?

While there is no single source listing them, there are several ways to research and identify potential sponsors:

  • Focus your search on businesses that might want to reach the audience your organization serves or has demonstrated an interest in your cause or community.
  • Investigate small businesses in your community; although some may not be able to donate cash, they may be a great source for in-kind gifts.
  • Contact companies that employ your donors, board members, and volunteers.

You might also consult one of the sponsorship directories listed below, under Books & Articles.
