Prompt: draft a corporate sponsorship approach

Local businesses often want to help a nearby cause, if you make it easy and specific. This prompt drafts a short, respectful approach that connects your work to what the business cares about and offers a clear way to help. You check that any recognition you offer is something you can actually honour.

What to paste in

Give the AI what you need support for, what you genuinely know about the business, what you can honestly offer in return, and who you are writing to. It writes a warm approach under 250 words with an easy next step.

What to check afterwards

Only offer recognition you can deliver, and check any claim about the business is true rather than invented flattery. Consider whether the business is one your charity should be associated with, and take advice once corporate income becomes significant, as sponsorship and donations differ for tax.

Sponsorship (where a business receives advertising or benefits) and a straight donation can carry different VAT and tax treatment, so take advice once corporate income becomes significant.

Worked example

The illustrative example opens with a genuine local link, makes a specific £600 ask, and offers only recognition the charity can honour.

CharityIQ can draft business approaches grounded in your real needs and what you can genuinely offer in return.
