Write a letter of intent. In this letter, introduce yourself briefly. Tell possible sponsors what kind of event you will be holding. Describe what the money will be used for and how the money will help achieve your goals. Mention the benefits of sponsorship, which include advertisement as well as tax deduction. These can be a huge bonus for a potential sponsor.

Deliver the letters in person and introduce yourself. Dealing with people in person highly improves your chances of success. If you are representing a team, wear the uniform; if you are representing a cause, wear the logo. This allows potential sponsors to put a face to a name. Tell potential sponsors what you are raising money for and leave the letter of intent with them for further review once you have left.
