How Service Clubs and Nonprofits Can Make a Bigger Impact and Generate More Revenue

Do Your Fundraising and Planning Committees Need Support?

Sponsorship Can Help!

  • When it comes to making a difference, fundraising is one of the essential -- but often most difficult -- tasks faced by service clubs and volunteer groups.
  • Even when fundraising strategies are successful, clubs and groups may struggle to build long-term plans and find themselves always "chasing dollars" in order to provide the support their communities need.
  • Thankfully, with simple shifts in mindset and awareness, service clubs and nonprofits CAN find new revenue streams through sponsorship and collaboration that actually strengthen relationships in the communities they serve.

Charmaine Hammond

Charmaine Hammond, CSP, is in the business of changing lives and raising dreams, using her 25+ years of experience to teach the principles of collaboration, partnership, and sponsorship.


Charmaine shares her unmatched experience from sitting on all four sides of the sponsorship table (as a Director of nonprofits seeking sponsorship, a specialist in government responsibility for funding/sponsorship portfolio, as a sponsorship-seeker, and as a sponsor for other people's events, projects, and dreams).

Charmaine has worked with hundreds of nonprofit organizations and service clubs, presenting partnership and collaboration strategies to more than 40 Rotary Clubs across North America. 

Rebecca Kirstein - - Raise a Dream - sponsorship and collaboration

Serial entrepreneur, Rebecca Kirstein Resch, is a speaker, educator, idea generator, team builder, collaborator, and connector — a conduit to the best knowledge and sponsorship resources.

She helps groups and leaders navigate the challenges and pitfalls of meeting their project goals — whether that means establishing a venture, developing hidden potential, securing sponsorship, or generating support for an idea — so they can move toward real success for themselves and their communities.

Rebecca's numerous frontline business and nonprofit experiences (the wild successes, the awesome mistakes, and all the lessons in between) provide invaluable expertise.

Everyone, including service clubs and nonprofits, has a BIG dream. It takes a team to make that dream a reality.


Together, using positive and authentic relationship building at the heart of their approach, Charmaine and Rebecca have raised millions of dollars for their own projects and for their clients’ projects.

With our years of collective experience, we can help you and your organization learn how to approach sponsorship correctly. 

Does Your Club Know How to Tap Into Sponsorship Spending Dollars?

Billions of dollars are spent each year on sponsorship marketing (across many industries and sectors) around the globe. More businesses, both small and large, are seeing the value and long-term ROI on collaboration and sponsorship marketing.

 

By knowing how to attract the attention of these businesses, your service club or nonprofit organization can tap into sponsorship spending dollars.  

It's Now Easy To Provide Your Service Club or Nonprofit Organization Members With the Sponsorship Guidance They Need

There are many opportunities for service clubs and nonprofits to collaborate with and receive sponsorship from local businesses and big brands, when your fundraising committees, fund-development staff, and donor-relations volunteers know how.

  • Imagine some of your organization's operating needs (such as meeting space, refreshments, food, marketing, videography, photography, and more) being covered and paid for by local businesses.
  • What if local businesses provided you with prizes and gifts for your event attendees?
  • Businesses and brands might also contribute some much needed cash into that sponsorship mix of support.
  • Wouldn't it be great if your project and event needs were covered by a variety of big brands that you use and love?

When you know the right steps, these benefits could be your service club or nonprofit organization’s reality.

Sponsorship has its own language, which is different from the world of philanthropy and donations. There are right ways (and definitely wrong ways) to connect with potential sponsors.


Understanding what sponsorship is, and what it is NOTis essential in being able to appeal to sponsors and benefit from collaborations.

You Need a Guide to Teach You How to Find the Right Partners

If you're eager to find out how sponsorship can serve your community needs, but your service club or nonprofit cannot arrange for Raise a Dream to provide a private workshop for your members (or if you want to test the waters first with your volunteers), we have an affordable solution that will kickstart the success of your do-it-yourself members.

I would highly recommend Charmaine...”

"Charmaine Hammond has a well-developed program to help service clubs and nonprofits raise funds through strategic partnerships. She does an excellent job of helping service clubs and nonprofits think creatively in terms of raising additional funds through strategic partnerships, not just in the short term but over an extended period of time.

...extra motivation and new ideas..."

“Our club found Charmaine’s ideas to be interesting and thought-provoking. Her talk was well timed for our club as it was just before an annual holiday fundraiser and the talk provided extra motivation and new ideas to our club members for our fund-raising efforts. We have already incorporated a couple of her suggestions in our fundraising. I can recommend Charmaine to other Rotary clubs, especially during the months leading up to a major fundraiser."
