Best Practices Toolkit
Below we've compiled resources for schools that may be helpful when meeting with partners or donors to request support. If you have resources that you use, we'd love to feature them here.
Requesting Support
Event Sponsorship Flyer Sample
Use this sample document to create a sponsorship plan for approaching sponsors who may want to provide funding or in-kind gifts for a specific event. Some examples of school events that could be sponsored would include school auctions, 5Ks, and more!
Use this document as a cover letter/outreach to solicit funding for a specific event or need. These letters are best sent to contacts you have personal connections with after you have had an initial conversation to determine the most appropriate "ask."
Use this document to show potential food sponsors how and when they can engage to provide meals to support events/meetings.
Team Sponsorship Opportunity Sample
Use this sample sponsorship flyer to engage sponsors to support ongoing team or club programming. These opportunities should be matched up to a potential sponsor's interests/goals. For example, you could engage a technology company to sponsor your robotics program, or a science organization to sponsor your science club.
Thank You Letter Sample
Use this template to thank your donors and partners for their gifts and services provided to your school. Be sure to include specific examples and impact statements in the letter. Personalize it to match your voice!
