Donations
Definition:
Nonprofit Organizations can raise funds by receiving public and
private grant money and donations from individuals and companies.
The most common federal tax exemption for nonprofits comes from
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, which is why
nonprofits are sometimes called 501(c)(3) corporations. Tax exempt
nonprofit organizations offer donors an individual deduction for
contributions.
Don't make promises to sponsors that you can't fulfill. Make sure
you have a marketing plan that will work for your organization and
be able to explain it to potential sponsors.

Commercial Sponsorship
Definition:
A commercial sponsorship is a monetary and/or in-kind fee paid to
an event manager/producer, in return for access to the exploitable
commercial potential, such as public recognition or advertising
promotions associated with the property, event, promotion, and so
forth.
The strategy of commercial sponsorship is to meet the specific
measurable goals of a company or brand by building a link in the
target audiences’ minds between the sponsor and a valued
organization or event.

Commercial Sponsorship
•The Army commercial sponsorship office cannot solicit sponsorship for
private organizations, although private organizations may obtain

•The Installation Commander has the authority to limit or restrict solicitation
by private organizations if this solicitation competes with or duplicates the
functions of the authorized installation commercial sponsorship program.
•Rules governing private organizations are covered in AR 210-22.
•Close working relationships should be developed between the Commercial
Sponsorship Office and authorized private organizations operating on the
installation.
•Private organizations should be informed of the solicitation efforts of the
