Modules
Module 1: Sponsorship 101
The foundation to the entire six-part sponsorship tutorial series begins with Sponsorship 101. What is sponsorship anyway? This module covers all five areas of the sponsorship cycle from a birds eye view. It was designed to help you see the full picture before each area is uncovered in more depth during future modules. This first module comes bundled with the purchase of any of the five modules.
Module 2: Planning
Like a map that leads you to your destination, the Planning module is an integral part of the sponsorship cycle. This will inspire the organizer deep inside of you, and bring your ideas into a cohesive strategy. Your attention to this phase of the sponsorship cycle will allow you to bring other team members on-board with ease, and maximize your chance of building the ideal partnership that you’re after with businesses.
Module 3: Prospecting
How do you find your potential sponsors? This module takes you through doing so from A to Z. Prospecting is all about defining what your sponsorship needs are, identifying ideal businesses that you would like to partner with, and determining whether your needs can fulfill a need for your prospect. This module alone could save you years of frustration and missed opportunities.
Module 4: Making an Approach
When it comes to reaching out to request a sponsorship meeting, we know how nerve racking it can be. Approaching a business to explore a sponsorship opportunity isn’t part of what you had hoped to be doing with your time, right? We get it, and you’re not alone. That’s why we’ve developed this in-depth module to take you through the process from start to finish and move you confidently beyond your comfort zone.
Module 5: Pitching
The moment of truth has arrived. There you are sitting in the meeting you have secured after weeks and months of preparation. You’re ready for whatever comes your way because after completing this module of the sponsorship tutorial series, you’re confident and clear on what to expect. You’ve done your planning, and you’ve seen creative ways to foster relationships with potential sponsors and partners.
Module 6: Fulfillment & Stewardship

But there’s still one more step to ensure you become an ideal arts organization for future sponsorship opportunities. The sixth and final tutorial on Fulfillment & Stewardship will reveal the many ways in which you can ensure a prosperous relationship with your sponsor, through customer service.
