Sponsorship Information

Gaining Club sponsors is one of the best ways to support your team financially and have your team recognized publicly throughout the community. The main items that usually need addressing when trying to get sponsorship for your club are the following:

• Who should I ask?
• What kind of offer should I make?
• How does the paperwork need to be done?

When looking for sponsorship, you should make a list of local businesses or companies that are associated with your sport or that your team has a lot of involvement with (a restaurant your team always eats at after practice, etc.). However, you can also seek out businesses that have nothing to do with your sport. Many places are interested in being involved with the community or on campus activities and have large budgets to allocate to teams like ours. Often the best way to reach these businesses, companies, parents, etc. is to send out a sponsorship letter.

How to do the paperwork once sponsorship is confirmed:

• Have the organization make the check out to Appalachian State University
• Have them put your club name on the memo/for line of the check
• They should include a small note saying they would like to sponsor your club with the check enclosed
• They need to mail this all to you and you need to give it to PJ Hartleb to process everything
• They may need the ASU Tax ID #: 56-1022587

If you do not follow these action items, the business cannot get a tax deduction!
