Board Engagement   Smart Tips Increase Your Program Budget Increase your program budget without raising fees for members by creating a sponsorship program. Industry sponsors can have a mutually beneficial relationship with your organization. While their sponsor fee helps you increase program offerings, automate administrative tasks, and provide stability for the organization, your organization can offer a lot of value. Talk to potential sponsors about what benefits they might want to see in your future program and tailor a sponsorship program customized for your industry and region. Sponsorships can be annual agreements with many benefits or specific to an event or program initiative. As the same companies will often engage with the chapter repeatedly, it is often wise to offer both options, with the choice to sponsor the organization annually for a large number of benefits and the option to support a smaller venture or event. This allows sponsors of all levels to support the organization and increase potential benefits for members. As you create your sponsor program, we recommend reaching out to our Support Team to discuss your plans. We can make recommendations on how to automated some processes to make managing the program easier and confirm that you are able to offer the benefits you have planned within the system, when applicable. This workflow will help you determine how to set up those sponsorships within StarChapter.
