Set up sponsorship levels

Sponsorship levels are what you offer companies and major donors: Platinum at $10,000 with a table of 10, Gold at $5,000 with 4 seats. Every event has them, whatever its page style, and they show on your event page with their prices and what each one gets.

Add a level

1. 1
   In the event, open Fundraising → Sponsors.
2. 2
   Under Sponsorship levels, click Add level.
3. 3
   Type the Name, such as Platinum, and a Description (optional) guests see when they open the level.
4. 4
   Under Price and seats, set the Price and the Seats included. Use 0 seats for a gift with no seats.
5. 5
   If it has seats, pick the Ticket type those seats are. Ticket types that need approval can't be picked.
6. 6
   Optional: set a Sponsor limit (optional), and how many places are Reserved. Reserved places show as Reserved on your page and are never sold.
7. 7
   Pick a Logo size for how its sponsors show on the page.
8. 8
   Click Create level.

The sheet shows the tax-deductible part as you type: what the price is above the seats' value.

The perks table

What sponsors get, on the same page, is one table for every level: perks down the side, levels across the top. Click Add perk, then click a cell to mark it Included, Not included, or type what they get, such as "4" or "Front row". Become a sponsor on your event page shows this table. See What sponsors get: the perks table.

The text and button under the levels

Under Sponsorships on your event page, add a line of Text and a button that reaches you. Button label starts as "Become a sponsor"; Button link takes an email address or a web link. Without a link there's no button.

Click Save changes at the bottom of the page to save the perks table, the text and the button. Levels save from their own sheet.

Sell a level at checkout

On an Interactive page, a level's sheet has Sell at checkout. Turned on, guests choose the level and pay by card; the level needs at least one seat. On Standard and Showcase, sponsors join by contacting you through the button.

Show or hide

• Show on the event page, in the level's sheet, hides one level from the page.
• Show sponsorship opportunities, on the event's Settings page, hides every price, Reserved place and Become a sponsor at once. Levels that already have sponsors still show who joined.

Good to know

• A level sold at checkout splits the money: each seat is a ticket at the admission's value, and the rest is a gift. That's why sponsorship money shows under Donations.
• Adding sponsors, their logos and the sponsor list are part of Gala. See The sponsor list.
