You will need to develop relationships with the marketing people at various businesses. They have dollars to spend, but they want to ensure they get the type of exposure necessary. Also, you might want to check with your local banks as they have CRA (Community Reinvestment Act) dollars they must allocate to the urban population centers.

Usually there are many more opportunities for sponsorship for non-profits than for profits. It also depends on the type of company or service you provide. On March 23, 2009 at 10:30 am and 5:00pm there will be a person from the U.S SBA with money that has been allocated from the President's new stimulus plan. The monies are specifically for for profit small businesses. I will find out the location and post later or you may contact the SBA office downtown Memphis for more information.

Hi Sheila, the monies on the 23rd are not for nonprofits. There is money available for nonprofits through governmental assistance (depending on your targeted audience) and private organization sponsorship. I will forward a few examples later. Also, you are welcome to join our Christian Business Network. We help small business owners. The next meeting is April 4, 2009 9:30am-12N (the meeting is free). The location TBA. I will keep you updated. God Bless you and much success on your new organization.
