Don’t leave sponsorship money on the table.
As consumers continue to hold brands accountable, societal leadership is now considered a core business function by many companies—motivating them to increase their support of nonprofits in their community.
In a time when 58% of consumers buy or advocate for brands based on their beliefs and values*, businesses of all sizes are looking to demonstrate their commitment to advocacy and social change.
By forming closer ties with motivated brands who align with your values and priorities, you can increase the profitability and efficacy of your programs and events.
Relationships with like-minded businesses not only benefit your organization financially, but can lead to stronger event sponsorship—increased funding for outreach, planning capacity, and event amenities—that better engage and motivate your supporters.
With corporate investment, standard annual giving events can become experiences that thrill your audiences and create buzz about your organization.
Increase your corporate sponsorships with a data-driven, step-by-step process.
