Sponsorship Campaign

Sponsorship Campaign

Sponsors can provide cash or services in the form of gifts-in-kind. All sponsorships are entered in this campaign.

There may be a variety of organizations that provide sponsorships. Some are cash sponsors and/or gift-in-kind. Do not forget to include all service providers like the event photographer or the company that provides flowers for the table. All of these services add to an event and to forget to record or thank any of them would be an enormous mistake.

Sponsorships are non-charitable. The Donation Category for sponsorships is Sponsorship. 

Here is a typical Sponsorship Campaign:
