Things to consider<\/h2>\n
Working with corporate partners presents an opportunity to collaborate on shared goals from different perspectives. For example, you may be looking for speakers for your event and a sponsor(s) may have employees who are willing to share their expertise and experience. Whatever the case may be, there are a variety of factors to think about when inviting corporate sponsorship. Here are some helpful tips to consider when approaching a potential sponsor:<\/p>\n
- \n
- What impact will your initiative have?<\/li>\n
- How does your event or activity align with the potential sponsor’s business objectives or corporate social responsibility goals? (Check the sponsor’s “About” page on their website.)<\/li>\n
- How will sponsors be recognized? Have you developed a package of sponsor benefits (e.g., signage, social media tags, speaking roles)?<\/li>\n
- Do you have an idea or outline of how you will spend a sponsor’s funding?<\/li>\n
- Are you seeking an in-kind contribution or a cash sponsorship? What value of sponsorship are you seeking?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n

University Advancement must approve all lists of sponsorship prospects and proposals for in-kind and cash sponsorships, no matter the value that you seek.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
