Presentation - Corporate Sponsorship by Jane Montague Session aimed at corporate fundraisers. _ _ _ One of the big conversations Jane seems to be having with hospice clients is how much other hospices are asking for sponsorship of events? We've asked Jane to run a forum on this very topic to help HIGN members have conversations about what is working and what we're asking of our corporate partners. Some of the topics we'll be talking about are: What corporate sponsorship opportunities are you offering your partners? What added extras are you providing and what are the corporates asking for? How much are you charging for sponsorship and on what events? What are some of your wins AND, equally important, what hasn't gone as you've expected? After the success of the corporate volunteering session that Jane ran last year, this talking forum will be invaluable for HIGN members. Please come ready to share and take part.
