What is sponsorship?

Sponsorship is when businesses and companies provide funds, resources or services to a club in return for rights and/or associations with the club. These rights or associations help the business commercially. This may take the form of a logo on a shirt, signs at the sports parkan, or free advertising in a newsletter.

Sponsorship links a club with a sponsor in a mutually beneficial relationship and it is not just about money. A good sponsor can add considerable value by, for example, becoming the club’s primary promoter. In the longer term, this may be of more value than the sponsorship income initially received.

It can be useful to think of sponsorship in this way: “Don’t ask what your sponsor can do for you, ask what you can do for your sponsor". Remember that donations are different to sponsorships. Businesses or individuals do not expect any commercial advantage in return for their donation.

"Support those, that Support us"
