Obtaining sponsorships from local businesses is the key to having a successful fun run fundraising campaign. Event sponsors can give you the resources you need to take your event to the next level. When you are first starting out, the thought of asking for sponsorships can be overwhelming. You aren’t sure who to ask, how to ask and what to offer in return. Here is a quick guide to help you create a plan for obtaining sponsorships for a Color Fun Run.

Put together a small group to make a list of what types of donated goods, services and monetary donations you will need for their event. Include everything from water bottles to start/finish line banners, to color powder. Be sure to attach a monetary value to goods and services so you know what it is you are asking for.
