Thank you for your message and sharing your cause!
I love this. I'd love to learn some tips on delegating the fundraising to someone else with better skills for the job. For my organization for example, I am better served focusing on website designing, graphic designing, and more technical aspects, I'm not necessarily the best people person, I'm very autistic and I find social situations to be extremely challenging.
Thanks for the great video!
That sounds like an interesting video topic!
Amber, thanks for the thought provoking video. It’s good to share and celebrate your wins with your sponsors - your success is theirs also. What are your thoughts on creating corporate sponsor avatar(s) to help with marketing, etc.
Hey Andrew! What are you envisioning when you say avatars in this context? Do you mean brand ambassadors?
Thank you very informative! Do you have a sample copy of your sponsorship pitch? That one pager that shows their benefits for sponsoring.
That sounds like a great idea for another video! I know I'll also be including that in my upcoming fundraising training courses.
i will save all i can of your presentation in this chanel..may i, when pandemic over it you may come to indonesia that we can cooperate to manage together😁
Glad the videos are helping!
Very I formative
Yay!
This was fantastic information I'm new at seeking sponsorships from corporates companies. This has definitely been a learning experience but one that's been very much worth learning thank you for sharing your knowledge and encouragement

Great to hear! This is definitely an area that took me awhile to learn, but so helpful once I did!

Thank you for the information really appreciated.. Cleopas from South Africa at Ikamva Music Art Institute (NPO)
You're very welcome!
Great video! At the end you said its good to keep up with communication with the company that is sponsoring you. My question is how much keeping up should I do? Would a monthly newsletter be enough, or would it be better to send the company a weekly email or byweekly email about things that happened? For the organization I am with, we do fairly repetative task week to week, with the ocational special event. What would you suggest as to how much I should keep them in the loop. Thanks!
I would think of it more like a friendship/relationship! It's not about checking a box / a certain number of email check-ins per se. :) Get to know them as humans, understand why they support your cause, and what they are excited about. Then you'll have a long-terms sponsor!
hi Amber thanks alot for your advice its realy informative am KENYAN aformer street child raised in an orphanage ii got apiece of land that i have been looking for friends and well wishers to help me build a children center for the less priviledged but not yet ...
I'm glad you are finding the videos informative!
Hi, no I am preparing to assist my son's travel football team. We're #2 in the nation for our league and a non-profit.
Awesome!
How is a football team a nonprofit. Maybe she got to go washing cars
The 2nd of 2 Google ads was marked 17 mins long so I had to skip it. Then approx 1:10 in two more ads ran. Then again at 5:20. I recommend changing your ad setting to short ads.
I'll check it out! I know some things I can control and some things I can't but I'll definitely investigate.
@@AmberMelanieSmith I wanted you to know
Hi Amber Melanie, thanks for the great content in your channel! I'm currently living in Indonesia and contributing for a Non-profit which gives financial help for poor kids to have access to study through a program called "Adoption at a distance", where anyone can "adopt" a kid and not only support them to study, but keep in contact with them throughout the year via letters,etc.
Up until now our sponsors are mainly individual people or families.
Do you think we could get corporate sponsorship as well?
I definitely do think companies could make good sponsors for a program like that - especially right now when people are looking for ways to get involved remotely during the pandemic!
@@AmberMelanieSmith Thanks a lot for the reply!
One more question: since our NGO is based in Indonesia, do you think we could get corporate sponsorship from companies in the US ? Would you have any leads on that ?
It's not unheard of. As for leads, you might try some internet searches for companies who sponsor international programs!
@@AmberMelanieSmith Thank you! I'll try... 😊
Hello amber , hope you're doing wonderful, I nolonger receive your new videos remember I subscribed I don't know what could be the problem
I'm not sure! I'm glad you came back to see the videos though!
❤
🙂
Hey Amber, what do companies need from you to verify that your organisation really is a Non-Profit?
In the USA, that would be your tax exemption approval letter from the IRS.
I have a possible sponsor with Puma, I wanted to get gear that would help me in my journey of health and fitness. And how fitness can help out with mental health. Do I just tell them that or is there a way to tell them more direct or professional?
I would build a relationship with them (if you haven't already) and share a formal sponsor pitch deck explaining the ask and the sponsor benefits.
I’m just starting out❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I have Cerebral Palsy and survived a serious bus accident in 2008 Through JESUS ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I sponsor children through JESUS around the globe and am trying to start my own business through JESUS helping Struggling families change their lives❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you
I dont know where you are located, i am on southern california amd i am starting the process to start a mon profit youth soccer league,i would love to speak with you

HI SIR AM KENYAN LOOKING FOR FRIENDS TO HELP BUILD ASMALL HOME FOR STREET KIDS IN KENYA AM AFORMER STREET KID RAISED IN AN ORPHANAGE KINDLY LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN VISIT AND GIVE ME SOME IDEAS BRO
Can I create a non-profit in the US and work in another country/countries and still get sponsors and grants and so forth? How would that work?
That is probably determined on a sponsor by sponsor basis. Each sponsor or grant foundation will have its own rules and requirements so I would say start by researching which align with your cause, then review their eligibility criteria.
Amber Melanie Smith Thank You!! 🙏🏻
Hello sir I have been working against child labour in pakistan
Yes I hope you can always do that especially if you start working with a nonprofit organisation that is not in your country.
Hi, it is interesting shall i get it full information how to get corporate sponsorship ,
Hey there! You need to research what companies there are in your community and what types of causes they've supported in the past in order to create a potential list!
@@AmberMelanieSmith

So I am a volunteer with a nonprofit group that helps veterans and their families and my group is just coming back together after the pandemic and we are struggling. What can we do to get better?
Hi there! That depends - in what ways are you struggling?
Hello ,i am from Africa and i am about starting NGO ,i like your advice and i wish to talk to you more if you can make up time for me ,thank you
Good luck on your new venture! Definitely check out the rest of my videos to see if they will be helpful, and my group on Facebook has some good folks in it too!
I’m so interested to your speech I’m the one who open NPO looking for children who are sexually abuse and those who need counseling,in my country there rape is very high we do everything from our pockets we really need your support
I'm from Africa and I need sponsorship for my new church as a young preacher.
Hope this video helps you!
Have you worked on getting sponsors for your cause? Share your experience!
YESS I'm working on it it was complicated becaus we have no idea with the cost of the operational to start
Does anybody knows a place or website to find some possible sponsors o ecual (similar). I am looking sponsorships fror our nonprofit in Mexico working fot biodiversity, rainforest reforestation, bamboo & Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage
Not exactly what you're asking for, but 1% for the Planet encourages businesses to donate to organizations protecting the environment, so you could check out this list of participating businesses for ideas on who to reach out to: onepercentfortheplanet.org/
Hi Amber! I love your videos! They are super helpful and they are really helping me to understand the field of non-profits which is the industry I am trying to get into. I have a question and hoping you can help me. I am a fundraising volunteer for a farm animal sanctuary with nit a lot of experience and I am seeking advice on who i could approach as a sponsor to raise money for a new tractor. Would you be able to help at all? Thank you ever so much. Lenka xx
I'm so glad the videos are helpful! As for your question -- I would say you partially answered yourself! For a sponsor for a new tractor - why not reach out to tractor companies? :) Maybe they would donate, loan, or discount one. Alternatively, I'd target companies who serve animals in other ways (food, care items, etc.)
Really appreciate that, thank you!! ☺️X
Thank you
We are nonprofit organizayions , can you help us ?
We are from ethiopia we give support for vulnerable childern in schools
