With a rise in corporate social responsibility across the United States, we are in a time of great opportunity. Corporate partnerships are now an essential component to a successful development department. In addition to increased funding, corporate partnerships can also lend credibility to your events and encourage additional prospects to get involved. This session will provide you with concrete ways to build/enhance your current sponsorship strategies. You will leave equipped with the skills needed to craft a professional sponsorship prospectus, with tips to identify and solicit sponsorships at meaningful levels, and learn how to diversify your fundraising streams through the use of social media and peer-to-peer platforms.
