If you need to raise money for a charity or community group...
...or to invest your organisation’s money in community endeavours or events...
...if you ask for money or are asked for money...
...then this event is perfect for you.
We have two amazing speakers who are going to take us through sponsorship vs. community investment – how they work, how they are different and what opportunities exist for you right now. As a corporate are you getting the best return for your sponsorship or community investment spend? As a nonprofit organisation is community investment or sponsorship more relevant for your organisation? As a PR or marketing practitioner, what relationships would be best for your clients?
