Sponsor Community

Connect with your next sponsor the easy way

Because small is valuable

Across every city, thousands of small organizations have value to offer sponsors. Yet many struggle to get noticed beyond their close networks. Finding the right partners takes time, outreach, and relationships that many organizations simply don’t have.

We’re building the infrastructure to change that. Sponsor Community is a Portland-based startup shining a spotlight on these marketing opportunities.

How it works

We’re like an Airbnb for sponsorships

Our marketplace makes opportunities easy to search, evaluate and act on. We’re just the point of connection — all transactions happen off the platform.

  1. Create a profile

    Share your story, audience, and offers — everything sponsors need to decide.

  2. Focus on your community

    We’ll handle the visibility, so you can prioritize what matters.

  3. Get introduced

    We’ll send an intro email when a sponsor opens your deck. Start the conversation while interest is high.

  • Finding sponsorship opportunities at nonprofits that reach the specific audiences we serve is harder than it should be. It shouldn’t take so much effort. Making these matches easier helps everybody.

  • As the sole staff member of a statewide nonprofit, I wear many hats. Building authentic relationships with sponsors is easily a full-time job — I wish there were a faster way to connect with companies that are already excited to support us.

  • I believe strongly in supporting women-led and small business communities, but it’s hard knowing which organizations to sponsor. I’d rather invest my marketing dollars locally than buy more online ads — but there’s no system for it. I wish there were!

  • I tried to place an ad in a values-aligned email newsletter, but after weeks of research and dead ends, I gave up. I just want an easier way to find the right partners.
