SUMMARY:Mission-Based Sponsorships Virtual Workshop
DESCRIPTION:What do sponsorships look like without events? Actually\, they can look very good – both for your organization and your sponsors. \nOver the past few years\, we have been learning how most companies prefer to have a ”bundled approach” to sponsoring an organization\, instead of always being called on every time there is an event.  And during the COVID-19 pandemic\, many nonprofits learned that companies want to support their good work and don’t need an event to support a nonprofit they admire. \nThis webinar will probe how to build on that goodwill.  It will examine how to develop sponsorship packages around your mission and the programs that support your mission: sponsorships that are meaningful to your donors and sustainable to your organization. \nIt will also explore how to develop different sponsor levels with tiered sponsorships at different price points.  And we’ll review sponsor benefits\, recognition\, and branding of your sponsorship program and how to approach a business to support a sponsorship package. \nFinally\, we will discuss how this approach will build a sustainable fundraising platform that can grow over time. \nREGISTER NOW
