Karen,
We seem to do best with specific programs over just a general sponsorship ask. In the past we held a T-shirt fundraiser and asked businesses to sponsor the cost of the printing. In exchange they would receive their biz name listed on the back of the Tshirt, on the fundraiser page and they received 5 free tshirts. After Hurricane Ian came through we lost 80% of our perimeter fence. We held a Fix the Fence fundraiser and again asked for sponsors. We had different sponsorship levels and offered incentives including a brick in our walk of fame walkway with the sponsors biz name and/or logo engraved on a brick, listing on our website, and social media shout outs. We also have a community pet food bank with sponsors. These sponsors are in-kind with donated items for the food bank. We are currently in the process of creating an animal education outreach program using a shuttle bus that we are retrofitting to hold cages for our animal ambassadors. We will be asking for sponsors for the program with the incentive to include their biz name on the bus, listing on our website and social media shoutouts. Of course each program had different cost/sponsor levels based on what we needed to raise for the program.

What types of programs do you hold to attract corporate sponsors/supporters? If possible, please share marketing samples.
Someone mentioned to us we should start a "Good Corporate Citizen Program" to get local manufacturers to support our spay/neuter program -- keeping animals off the streets.
