This article illustrates how to setup a Fundraising Campaign page to sell sponsorships independently of online ticket sales.

Using a Campaign page for sponsorship packages:

  • Allows you to sell tickets and sponsorships simultaneously - on separate pages.
  • Allows you to tailor each page (tickets vs sponsorships) to their respective audience.
  • Provides separate invitation templates/URLs to direct supporters to the appropriate page.

Using a Campaign page for sponsorship packages does NOT collect guest information during the purchase transaction, but you can edit  the confirmation email to provide Sponsors with a live link for adding guests and managing their guest list.

Setting up a Campaign to Sell Sponsorships:

  1. Create your Sponsorship Packages before setting up your Campaign.
  2. Create a Campaign, following standard instructions except for these elements:
  • Use Crowdfund or Classic template, Online Store template does not support sponsorship sales.
  • Add the Sponsorship Packages you want to offer
  • Edit the Confirmation template to include a link for sponsors to provide their guest info (if nec)
  • Decide how you want to provide access to the Sponsor Campaign.

Add the Sponsorship Packages you want to offer

Go to the Sponsorships Tab to add the desired sponsorship packages to the campaign.  

Note that packages must be created at Site Settings > Registration > Sponsorships.  All available packages will display in the dropdown menu.

Once the campaign has been saved, use the edit icon to return to the Sponsorships Tab > Advanced if you want to edit the "Sponsorship Options" header.

Edit the Confirmation template

Once the campaign has been saved, use the edit icon to return to the Admin Tab > Advanced > Edit Confirmation Email Template.

If your sponsorship packages include tickets, edit the template to add this invitation tag:  [invite_to_add_guests]   For example:

Please click on the link below to let us know who will be using your guest ticket(s). If you can provide a name and email, we can contact them directly for any additional information.

[invite_to_add_guests]

To collect sponsor details, add this invitation tag:  [invite_to_provide_sponsor_details]. For example:

Please use this link to upload your logo and provide any information you'd like ius to promote on our website: 

​​​​​​​ [invite_to_provide_sponsor_details]

Access Options

  1. Edit the "Contribute" Homepage button to link to the Sponsor Campaign.
  2. Provide a text or image link to the Sponsor Page in the homepage custom text.
  3. Limit access to individuals receiving Invitations and/or shared links.

Homepage Button

Note:  Using the homepage button for the Sponsor Campaign precludes it's use for other campaigns.    If there are other active campaigns, they can be accessed via shared links or invitations, but not via the Show All Campaigns page.

  1. Go to Site Settings > Events > Fundraising Campaigns > General
  2. Edit Contribute Button & Link Text
  3. Make sure "Show all active fundraising campaigns" is disabled.
  4. Go to Site Settings > Events > Fundraising Campaigns > Campaigns
  5. Make sure the Sponsor campaign is "Public"
  6. Make sure the Sponsor campaign is in the upper left position (if there are multiple active campaigns)

Homepage Text/Image Link

If you want to use the "Contribute" button for access to all active campaigns, you can add a link to text or an image in the homepage custom text section.

If you do not want the Sponsor campaign to display on the Show All Active campaigns page, change the visibility of the campaign to Public - Link:
