To implement their own ideas or charitable programs, large financial investments or the help of a famous person are often required. Finding a wealthy person who is interested in your project is not easy.
It is necessary
- - portfolio;
- - business cards.
Instructions
Step 1
Find sites of famous people. Or people whose activities lie in the area of your interests. For example, you are looking for sponsorship for a private art gallery. This means that it is better to look for a patron among famous artists or sculptors. They usually post information about the charitable assistance or patronage they are engaged in.
Step 2
The letter to a potential donor should contain a record of your activities. Let's say you are looking for a sponsor to organize a concert with children with disabilities or orphans. Indicate exactly how you see the concert being held, where it will be held, what purpose it pursues. But try not to ask for money. Emphasize that all you need is the participation and support of an eminent person, help with a PR-action.
Step 3
If a potential sponsor is interested in your letter, a spokesperson or personal assistant will contact you. At the meeting with him, tell him everything about your activities, what difficulties arise, what has already been done. If you have had experience with such events, please provide a photo report.
Step 4
The question of financial assistance should always come from the interested party. In this case, you should have an approximate cost estimate ready. Try to make the amount look plausible, include only the necessary costs in the estimate. For yourself personally, do not forgive any reward. If the sponsor finds your request interesting and will help you once, chances are good that his help will not be limited. And you will get a permanent patron of the arts.
Step 5
Look for sponsors at traditional charities and auctions that bring together representatives of business and culture. Have a portfolio with you that reflects your work. Be sure to make business cards that contain brief information about you if you are, for example, the president of a charitable foundation or the leader of a volunteer group. You can also make a booklet that describes your activities and immediate plans.
Step 6
Do not hesitate to approach people, introduce yourself, literally tell about yourself in a nutshell, and leave a business card or brochure with a link to your personal website. You do not need to be intrusive, conduct the conversation kindly, with a smile. The more business cards you hand out, the more chances that someone will be interested in you.
