Generate Additional Revenue: Step Up Your Sponsorship Results
Presented by Lewis Flax, Flax Associates
Corporate sponsorship often represents an important income stream for many nonprofits. At the same time, corporations are besieged by requests for funding and are more judicious as to which activities they support. Within the nonprofit sector, we have reached a critical decision point: How will you change your approach in order to improve results?
Successful nonprofit organizations recognize that they must go beyond offering standard and outdated benefits if they are to increase sponsorship income. The focus of this session is to review proven strategies and tactics to increase corporate sector revenue.
Learning Objectives:
- Differentiate your organization from the crowd of others seeking sponsorships.
- Learn how to create a successful revenue generating partnership program.
- Leverage your board and volunteers to generate additional support.
