How do i find sponsors?

Question

we are opening up my dad club again for troubled kids and to keep them off drugs and out of gangs so how do we find sponsors

Answer 1

Invite local businesses to sponsor especially businesses oriented to kids and families,.  Have 3 levels of sponsorship perhaps red,white and blue and offer certificates of appreciation and write letters of thanks in local paper giving PR to them.  Ask a local paper, radio station, TV station to co sponsor.   Do a presentation to local churches especially the church women's or youth group.   Sell space on club T shirts to sponsoring businesses.

If you need nonprofit status you may do best to have a local school or church as a "fiscal agent" till you have your 501 c 3 status.   If this is a Christian oriented group see also www.themissionarychurchinternational.org for help on that.
