We’ve founded SponsorshipU! Think of it as the business school for event organizers. Remember, you’re building a business case, not simply putting together a proposal. There’s no frills. No fancy graphics. Just solid information. Moving forward, it’s our hope to give you useful advice on fundraising for future events.
SponosrshipU is for individuals/organizations who plan events, but don’t want to be burdened by the full cost of putting it on:
- Conference/Workshop Planners
- Non-Profit Organizations/Charities
- Party Promoters
- Political Organizations
- PR/Marketing Firms
- Religious Organizations
- Small Businesses
- Event Venues
“Do we guarantee you’ll get funding? Of course not. Even if you have the world’s best event you might find out that your particular market might have a really, really high bar of achievement for funding. In fact, just trying to implement these concepts showing tangible progress will make most event organizers realize how hard really raising money is. Try it.” – paraphrased from Steve Blank
Quick housekeeping note: We’ll try to simplify our language as much as possible. But in the end, people who get funded have that intangible quality of finding the answers to terms/concepts they don’t understand by themselves. In short, they want to be great.
