Securing sponsors for your event is imperative for your fundraising success. Getting sponsors to say ‘yes’ to your proposal is just part of the work, however. Properly managing your relationship with your sponsors is essential. It’s the hard work that will make their experience of working with you beneficial to their organization and will help you more easily bring them on board year after year.
