Sponsorship

[Kathrin Schaefer-Ivanovic]

I recently sent an email to Naomi regarding the strategy she used to engage the various sponsors who participated in the NY event.

As I have started several conversations with potential sponsors in the Philadelphia area, I like to get an ideas on how to constructively and effectively include sponsors in this initiative.

At this point, I have only asked for in-kind donations. I do not want to ask for fiscal donations until we have a set plan on how we would use such funds.

Is there a plan for taking donations, whether from sponsors or individual members?

Any thoughts?

Hi Kathrin - At this point Changebloggers is just a loose group of individuals with a shared interest, so we don't have any way to process donations of any kind, nor can we legally. Any arrangements you make with people who want to give event space, or refreshments would be doing so in exchange for your mentioning that they sponsored your event in your outreach materials. That's about it.
