Open doors with companies that want to give back.
Corporate partners can fund events, programs and campaigns, but finding the right person at each company takes time your team rarely has. We research prospects, reach decision-makers and book meetings for your development staff.
- Prospect research included
- Meetings booked for your team
- Sponsorships, grants and matching gifts
The right companies and the right people inside them.
Corporate giving decisions sit with different people at different companies. We find them.
Local and regional employers
Businesses in your community that sponsor events, support local causes and want visibility with your audience.
Community relations and CSR teams
Corporate social responsibility, foundation and community relations leaders who manage giving programs.
Marketing and sponsorship buyers
Marketing teams looking for event sponsorships and audiences that match their brand.
From prospect list to sponsor meetings.
Build the target list
We identify companies aligned with your mission, location and audience, starting with relationships you already have.
Find the decision-makers
We research who manages sponsorships or corporate giving at each company.
Make the introduction
Our team calls and emails to introduce your organization and your sponsorship or partnership options.
Book the meeting
Interested companies are scheduled with your staff, with notes on their goals and timing.
People, not AI. Seasoned members of our team make every call under your organization's name, using talk tracks built around your mission. No pressure tactics.
What makes corporate outreach different
Companies give for different reasons than individuals: visibility with a target audience, employee engagement, community reputation or a focus area set by a corporate foundation. Good outreach leads with what the company gets, not only what your organization needs. We tailor each conversation to the company's interests and budget timing.
What we can help you pursue
- Event sponsorships: galas, runs, tournaments, conferences and community events.
- Program sponsorships: underwriting for a specific program, season or campaign.
- Corporate giving and grants: introductions to companies and corporate foundations with giving programs that fit your work.
- Matching gifts and employee giving: companies that match employee donations or run workplace giving.
- In-kind support: donated products, services or volunteer time.
What we need from you
A sponsorship deck or menu of options, a list of your existing corporate relationships so we don't contact them unexpectedly, and the people on your team who will take the meetings. If you're an association, see our non-dues revenue outreach for exhibitor, advertising and partner sales.
