Sponsor momentum

Build sponsor support year after year.

Big Nest turns sponsorship into a repeatable part of fundraising, so local businesses can support the school without asking families to carry every goal.

Create your Big Nest See the sponsor model

Ready to make it yours?

Know who you are asking

The strongest prospects often already have a connection to the school: a parent, alumn, a retired teacher, or past sponsor. Big Nest keeps that context with the contact information and contribution history behind the relationship.

Your sponsor chair can make a warmer ask, follow through on what was promised, and give the next chair a clear place to start.

If you are deciding whether sponsorship belongs in the fundraising mix, compare sponsor drives with family-donation campaigns .

Bring last year’s plan forward

Begin with a default six- or eight-week plan for outreach, follow-up, logo deadlines, and recognition. The drive has the structure it needs before a chair starts rebuilding it from scratch.

Next year, import the drive’s tasks and have Big Nest adjust the dates for the new school year.

Make the yes easy

A sponsor can choose a level, see the impact and recognition it includes, and pay online with a card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

Big Nest sizes each logo for the placement and sponsorship tier your group promised, so recognition is ready to follow the contribution.
