Contacting a Sponsor by Phone
It can be more effective to contact a potential sponsor through the phone, whether that be through the company’s general number or a specific contact. Often times, when cold-calling a company, we may not have the specific contact information and would need to go through customer service or reception, and then ask to be transferred to the specific department, likely Outreach, Marketing, or even Human Resources. Below is a general template on how to begin a conversation with a member of the potential sponsor.

Some notes and tips:
Typically, the person in contact will have already decided whether or not they are willing to sponsor/donate within the first few seconds.
