Sponsorship terms & conditions

A proposal letter may be as simple as a well-written, one-page request. That said, pursuing sponsorship opportunities will likely benefit from using a high-quality business proposal template, one with a cover, a table of contents to follow, the ability to add video or social media links, etc. Customize your cover page for free, like the one above, within the PandaDoc application to fit the theme of your event.

​ [Sender.Company] is proud to have such a diverse and inclusive audience attending this year’s [Event.Name] . Attendees work in all sectors of the (Industry.Name) industry, and arrive from all over the globe to participate in our signature event.

When presenting your Sponsorship Proposal to potential clients, you can outline the benefits and opportunities they’ll receive while sponsoring your event or project. However, for a legally binding agreement, consider using our free Sponsorship Agreement Template, which defines the terms, obligations, and commitments for a successful collaboration.

Each section of your business proposal template serves a unique purpose — and it should flow seamlessly from section to section. An overview of your company should be concise, and transition smoothly to details of the event seeking sponsorship (location, fundraising, etc.). Then, with dates and facts clear and in place, you can finalize by tailoring the content specifically for the potential sponsor.

Purpose of event

(Briefly describe the reason for holding the event, the event planning, and what sponsorship will mean for you going forward. Specific objectives or goals can be highlighted here, tied to the event mission or marketing theme.)

The [Event.Name] started because we decided the best way to solve this problem is to engage people. Since then, past events have steadily helped to grow interest, and we strive to make each year even better than the last.

The theme this year is (Event.Theme) , with the goal of surpassing last year’s total by raising awareness through more specialty programs and workshops, and a distinguished list of industry leaders scheduled to speak at this year’s [Event.Name] .

We have come a long way, but we would still greatly benefit from your support. Your generous contribution will help us successfully extend our mission.

Consider using our free proposal templates customized for different type of events:
– Sports Event Sponsorship Proposal Template if you’re organizing a sports event.
– Fashion Show Sponsorship Proposal Template for fashion show organizers seeking sponsorship.
– Music Artist Sponsorship Proposal Template if you’re a music artist looking to attract sponsors.
– Music Event Sponsorship Proposal Template if you are organizing a music event.

Sometimes words and pictures alone can’t do justice for what you can offer to a potential sponsor. This is where you may want to add a video. Videos are a good way to keep the text portion of your marketing proposal short, while still providing prospective event sponsors with a lot of informational content about your event and how they can benefit from it. Just remember to keep your video as succinct as possible.
