Sponsorship
Sponsorship is when a business provides funds, resources or services, in return for some form of rights
and/or associations with the organisation that may be used to help the business commercially. This could
be in the form of a logo on a football, signs at an event or free advertising in the newsletter.
Sponsorship often seems to be a rather elusive subject for sports clubs, but the principles are really quite
simple. Large-scale commercial sponsorship is the preserve of big sports organisations seeking to negotiate
TV and media rights, sportswear deals, track-side advertising, and similar arrangements for significant
sums of money. This is usually beyond the reach of local sports clubs. However, there are many other
smaller opportunities to attract financial sponsorship. It is good business practice to create a sponsorship
policy within the organisation before you apply for sponsorship. This will help clarify expectations
regarding sponsorship deals particularly for members.
Increasingly local organisations are finding more innovative and mixed approaches to fundraising. Aiding

service and allows advertising of good causes. Organisations will need to go to a ‘vetting’ process, and
there is a charge of £60 per year + VAT.

Crowdfunding is a relatively new phenomenon raising funds from a crowd of people, or the crowd.
Crowdfunding provides an innovative way of funding new projects or ideas promoted through a website
platform. There are various types of websites dedicated to crowdfunding depending on the type of project,
idea, or product you have. Examples of current projects, and where they stand against their fundraising
target, can be found here:
