What Is a Sponsorship Request Letter?

A Sponsorship Request Letter is a document that contains a request for fundraising and is sent to individuals and entities. The purpose of the request is to offer its recipients encouragement as a reward for their donation. The donation can be made in cash or in other forms, for example, by contributing resources instead of cash.

Alternate Name:

• Sponsor Request Letter.

Such kinds of letters can be used in different situations. For example, an event organizer can send a Corporate Sponsorship Request Letter to a business and ask them to contribute to the event. The business receives better recognition and the organizers receive the funding they need for the event. Or a sponsorship request can be sent by a sports team in order to receive contributions that will help them to enter competitions, cover the cost of sporting equipment, and other expenses.

In addition to the situations mentioned above, a Sponsorship Request Letter can be sent to recipients from churches, schools, volunteers, goodwill organizations, etc. Check out our library below to download printable Sponsorship Request Letter templates and samples.
