Make the ask specific

Tell local businesses what the funds would cover, such as prizes, supplies, field trip costs, uniforms, equipment, or event expenses.

Match each sponsor tier to recognition promises volunteers can actually fulfill.

Include a promised-recognition checklist and thank-you reminder in the packet.

A sponsor package only works if the group follows up after the event.

Do not promise deductibility or receipt treatment.

Follow treasurer, IRS, school, and local guidance outside the worksheet.
