Explanation:
Successful sports fundraising often involves writing a lot of fundraising letters to a lot of different companies. You can however give your sponsorship request a much better chance by using the sample sponsorship letter below and following a few simple guidelines:
1. Pick a company that has some relevance to your team - This might be by what they sell (ie sports equipment), who they know (ie business or family contacts) or where they are (ie the garage next door to the sports field).
2. Do your research - Find out about them. What do they do? How do they market themselves? Who are the key personnel and managing director or other decision makers?
3. Use your contacts - If you can, approach a company where someone can prepare the ground for you. Nothing beats a personal contact in getting your foot in the door!
