I love this. I'd love to learn some tips on delegating the fundraising to someone else with better skills for the job. For my organization for example, I am better served focusing on website designing, graphic designing, and more technical aspects, I'm not necessarily the best people person, I'm very autistic and I find social situations to be extremely challenging. Thanks for the great video!

Great video! At the end you said its good to keep up with communication with the company that is sponsoring you. My question is how much keeping up should I do? Would a monthly newsletter be enough, or would it be better to send the company a weekly email or byweekly email about things that happened? For the organization I am with, we do fairly repetative task week to week, with the ocational special event. What would you suggest as to how much I should keep them in the loop. Thanks!

I would think of it more like a friendship/relationship! It's not about checking a box / a certain number of email check-ins per se. :) Get to know them as humans, understand why they support your cause, and what they are excited about. Then you'll have a long-terms sponsor!

Hi Amber Melanie, thanks for the great content in your channel! I'm currently living in Indonesia and contributing for a Non-profit which gives financial help for poor kids to have access to study through a program called "Adoption at a distance", where anyone can "adopt" a kid and not only support them to study, but keep in contact with them throughout the year via letters,etc. Up until now our sponsors are mainly individual people or families. Do you think we could get corporate sponsorship as well?

That is probably determined on a sponsor by sponsor basis. Each sponsor or grant foundation will have its own rules and requirements so I would say start by researching which align with your cause, then review their eligibility criteria.

I'm so glad the videos are helpful! As for your question -- I would say you partially answered yourself! For a sponsor for a new tractor - why not reach out to tractor companies? :) Maybe they would donate, loan, or discount one. Alternatively, I'd target companies who serve animals in other ways (food, care items, etc.)
