Steps 1.

Write the letter in proper format. Start with the title of the person you are addressing, the address, and date. Ads by Google alexekenonprofitorg. Charity, non profit organization support medical mission to Africa alexekenonprofitorganization.org

2. 2
Begin with a description of the company (if it's a corporate letter) or state who you are (if it's for personal sponsorship) For example, So and So firm is a nonprofit organization committed to rehabilitation... whatever.

3. 3
State the event and the purpose in lucid terms. "We are holding a ---- event on ----for raising money/making a video/whatever the reason."

4. 4
Request sponsorship by saying "We would be grateful if you helped in sponsoring our event...". Try to give a plan, for example do you want a banner? An announcement? If it's a banner or the sort you could quote sizes and prices. This makes it easier for companies to select a sponsorship plan instead of trying to figure out what exactly you want and how much.

5. 5
Give details. For example, how many people are attending? Who will be the Chief Guest/guests, whether your event will be aired, what publicity you will get, etc.

EditTips

Try to use a computer or typewriter, as this looks professional. If it is impossible, then resort to hand writing. Make sure the paper is clean and not smudged and your handwriting is neat and legible and there are no spelling errors. Companies get asked to sponsor events all the time, so be sure to include an explanation of why a particular company would be a match for your event. Include a sponsorship form that someone at the company can fill out. Find a key contact person. Make follow up calls to this person until the company gives you a yes or no answer.
