After enabling the Sponsors feature on your campaign, you can begin adding sponsorship packages. You will have the option to display these packages publicly when you’re ready, but by default they are hidden internally until you choose to add them to your campaign page.
Steps
Visit your campaign’s Dashboard.
Click Sponsors on the left side menu. If you have not added any sponsors yet, you’ll see a button to Create Package. You can also click Create in the top right corner, then select Package.
In the pop-up that appears, you will customize the details of the sponsorship package. At a minimum, you must include a Package Name and Package Price.
Review the other optional fields where you can add more context about the package and provide a list of Package Benefits. If there is a Package Quantity Limit, you can enter the total available to ensure your package displays as Sold Out once the limit is reached.
If you are adding sponsor packages to an In-Person Event or P2P In-Person Event campaign type, you will see the option to include Tickets in your package. If free tickets are included, indicate how many tickets the sponsor will receive and select the ticket type.
Click Create Package. Your Sponsors dashboard will show the package you created, allowing you to return and edit it. You can continue adding additional packages as needed.
Note: Once you’ve finalized your sponsorship packages and are ready to display them, you can visit Settings > Campaign Page and then use the Add Section feature to place the Sponsorship Package display on the appropriate page of your campaign.
Showcasing benefits
When people browse your sponsor packages, they will see the details you’ve provided in the Description and Package Benefits, if you entered content. Below is an example of four packages (one with both a description and package benefits, one with just a description, one with just package benefits, and one with no details) to show you how they will appear to those browsing.
Adding tickets to sponsor packages
Tickets can be added to sponsor packages on both In-Person Event and P2P In-Person Event campaign types. You will be able to indicate the quantity of tickets included in the package and the sponsor will receive a unique invite code that their attendees can use to register (or that the sponsor can use to register their participants).
You can only assign one ticket type to a sponsor package, but the ticket you assign can be a hidden/disabled ticket that is not available to the general public. If there’s specific questions you want to ask of sponsor participants or if you want to create a simple, streamlined ticket just for them, you can create a new ticket, immediately hide it by toggling it off, and then apply it to a sponsor package. Anyone registering with the sponsor invite code will be able to register with that ticket, but the general public will not see it appear as a registration option.
Note: Tickets with a minimum fundraising commitment cannot be added to sponsorship packages. If you’re adding tickets to sponsor packages on a P2P In-Person Event that only has tickets with a required fundraising commitment, you will need to create a new ticket without a fundraising commitment enabled. You can disable/hide the new ticket intended for sponsors so non-sponsor attendees can’t use it, but still use it for your sponsor package tickets.
