Sponsorship Coordination

What People Are Saying

It's becoming harder and harder in today’s economy for non-profits to find enough of the dedicated and qualified sponsorship-committee volunteers necessary to ensure a financially successful event. In spite of the economy, however, many corporations continue to have charitable-giving allocations, but they are finding it increasingly difficult to connect with charities that serve their stakeholders. Through sponsorship coordination, Sparkling Events aims to secure sponsorship dollars for charities by connecting them with corporations that are sympathetic to their mission.
