Discover hidden revenue streams that most entrepreneurs haven't even thought of.  Learn how sponsorship & social media can take your vision from big idea to global brand.  

Imagine how much more freedom you’d have with your airfare comp’d, your rental car at no cost, your event costs covered by businesses you love, your hotel paid for, your meals on the house, and your presentation, project, book launch or ??? paid for before you began. 

All of these are completely possible and this kind of support is achieved every day by people who understand the value of sponsorship to companies who want to bask in the shine of the goodwill you and your project can create for them. 

There are BILLIONS of dollars in funding that are earmarked to go to projects just like yours every year, the trick is knowing who has the grants, donations and sponsorship funds, how to engage them and then what you need to do in order to close the deal. 

Be prepared to hear some shocking information about how much pressure are put onto committees to find opportunities to give away five, six even seven figures of funding and how there are thousands of people all over the county under the gun to make sure this money is given away. 

Charmaine Hammond has worked both sides of this equation - at one point being responsible for investing corporate money into sponsorship programs and then as a consultant to people with big hearts, great ideas and a need for finances in order to make sure their passion becomes a reality.   

Charmaine will explain the fundamentals you need to know about: 

  1. Where do I find the right sponsor?
  2. What do I need to do in order to get them interested in my project?
  3. How do I present my project in a way that will get them to green light the sponsorship?
  4. Why a sponsor would say yes to my project. 

If you’d like to learn how to have imaginable part of your project paid for (and even some things you never would have thought possible) be sure to catch Charmaine’s presentation on growing your business through collaboration, partnership and sponsorship.
