INFINITY SPONSORSHIPINTRODUCING

INFINITY SPONSORSHIP WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2010

and specialises in supporting non-profit organisations,

charities and events to plan, find, connect with and keep

valuable and meaningful partnerships with corporate

sponsors.

When we were young we all wanted to be a superhero. A

superhero was someone that had the ability to help people

in need wherever they may be. We believe that non-profit

organisations still have some of that childhood superhero in

them because every day of every year they are searching

for more people in need, no matter where they are. We are

passionate about what you do, and even more so about

your ongoing and sustainable success.

We have created a proven pathway for success (above)

that can teach you to diversify your income streams,

add value to your community of followers and spread

your message to audiences you’re not currently

connecting with.

We have become a market leader in practical and

effective sponsorship solutions and training for

non-profits. We support many premium brands and

non-profits of all shapes and sizes to create long

lasting, mutually beneficial partnerships.

OUR EXPERTISE

WE HAVE A FOOT IN BOTH CAMPS!

Our experience at the coalface, working

as sponsorship seekers in the non-profit

sector means that our finger is always on

the pulse of what's happening.

Our signature strength is understanding

what potential sponsors want and helping

our clients frame their offer in both the

most enticing way to engage great

partners and a way that maximises the

resources and experience they already

possess. Why? Because we seek

continual growth and improvement, not

only for ourselves but our clients as well

by constantly asking the question 'how

can we be better at this?'

We are always coming up with new

resources, services, templates, books,

webinars and research ultimately geared

at helping you refine your sponsorship

approach, meaning that 'super hero'

status among your colleagues and sponsors is inevitable!

Seriously though, we work hard to help our clients mitigate risk,

create a sound sponsorship governance framework and diversify

income streams so that they become more sustainable.

TESTIMONIALS

“Dear Abby, On behalf of our sponsorship team at TEDxPhoenixville (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's largest and

longest running TEDx event) we would like to personally thank you for providing our team an AMAZING roadmap to

sponsorship success this year! Your ebooks on sponsorship development and planning helped us create a winning

strategy for partnering with reputable companies in our area. Your insights and step by step formulas were

invaluable to our organization and our fundraising efforts this year, especially as they helped us to re-envision our

sponsorship opportunities as mutual partnering relationships equally benefitting TEDxPhoenixville and our circle of

corporate partners.

I can say that, thanks to your guidance, many of our team members were able to discard prior misconceptions about

sponsorship being an act of charity and view our current and future sponsorship opportunities in a new light. It is SO

much more empowering to approach sponsorship partners from a position of self confidence and self assuredness,

knowing WHAT we have to offer in the relationship, knowing the real VALUE of our audience, knowing how to respect

the special RELATIONSHIP we have with our fan base and knowing how to introduce sponsors to that fan base as you

would introduce a new friend to a close knit family.

Thank you for sharing your insights on preparation, planning, acquiring and maintaining sponsorship relationships.

You've definitely cut through the clutter and made this process much easier for both the novice and the experienced

among us. We're looking forward to another successful year. Wishing you all the best “Mr. R. Kali Woodward - Lead Organizer

TEDxPHOENIXVILLE

“I just wanted to say “Thank You”- your workshop was probably the best I have ever attended. Usually when I

attend these workshops I am the shy one that sits up the back, listens, takes things in but never participates. Right

from the moment I walked in, you made me feel comfortable enough to ask the question that I would like to ask, but

never could. I liked the small numbers in the workshops and that you made it easy to understand the content. Until

I attended your sponsorship workshops I didn’t understand the idea of a “partnership” with our sponsors - I have

always held out the bucket saying “please sir, give me money because we are a charity.” I realise now that we have

to look at restructuring the way we do business with our sponsors!”Melissa Gardiner - CEO

THE ACT EDEN MONARO CANCER SUPPORT GROUP

“The Infinity Sponsorship workshop was a really

worthwhile investment for my business and provided

me with great sponsorship tools for the future!”Alanna Hinds - Director

HINDSIGHT MARKETING

“Abby is a personable and engaging

presenter with a depth of knowledge and

experience. Her workshops provide great

practical advice with real world application.”Phillippe Cahill

Account Manager,

Sponsorship and Promotions

“As the peak body for the Management Rights Industry in Australia, in 2011 the Australian Resident

Accommodation Manager’s Association (ARAMA) decided to embark upon a corporate partnership implementation

strategy to engage partners that would invest much-needed funds into our Not-For-Profit organisation that would

create value for our members through increased member services and professional development opportunities.

In March 2012, ARAMA engaged the services of Infinity Sponsorship to secure corporate annual partners. In less

than 6 months, Infinity Sponsorship secured partnerships into the future to the value of approx $350,000. We have

engaged Infinity Sponsorship for a two year period and are very excited about the partnership opportunities that lie

ahead of us.

These funds are valuable to ARAMA in helping us to become a more sustainable organisation by diversifying our

income streams and becoming less dependent on membership subscriptions, allowing us to build capacity in our

resources and staff. However, the real gift to ARAMA has been working so closely with the Infinity Sponsorship team

and the education we are receiving about our organisation and how it is perceived by potential corporate partners.

This knowledge along with the templates and resources that are provided to ARAMA as part of working with Abby

and the team, mean that we will continue to become increasingly more abundant as the years go by, long after her

good work has been completed for us.

I would highly recommend Infinity Sponsorship if you are an organisation looking to become more sustainable and

build capacity into the future. Abby and her team can help you get there!”Trevor Rawnsley - Chief Executive Officer

AUSTRALIAN RESIDENT ACCOMMODATION MANAGER’S ASSOCIATION

“Sports Medicine Australia has been working with

Abby Clemence and Infinity Sponsorship since March

2012. Abby has been instrumental in managing the

recruitment of new sponsorships on behalf of Sports

Medicine Australia. Over this period Sports Medicine

Australia has been successful in establishing new and

diverse partnerships and has been introduced to

numerous potential partnership options. Abby and

her team are wonderful to work with. She has gone to

great lengths to gain an extensive understanding of

the requirements of Sports Medicine Australia and to

matching those requirements to potential partners.

Abby takes a very systematic, methodical and

co-ordinated approach to partnership recruitment

and has demonstrated the importance of the

specialised skills and strategies required to attract

and recruit partners. I have no hesitation in

recommending Abby Clemence and Infinity

Sponsorship in the recognition, recruitment and

management of partnerships.”Nello Marino - Chief Executive Officer

SPORTS MEDICINE AUSTRALIA

“The one-day Ideal Sponsorship workshop with

Abby was extremely valuable. It gave me the

chance to workshop ideas with other people in the

not-for-profit sector who understood the

challenges NFPs face and Abby had a wide variety

of impressive case studies which helped provide

perspective and a stronger understanding of how

to approach asking for sponsorship. I wish I could

have stayed for the second day! Thanks to this

workshop we are overhauling our sponsorship

proposal and approach. We have a much clearer

understanding of how to go about asking for

sponsorship and are far more positive about what

we can as a NFP organisation. I highly recommend

investing in one of Abby’s workshops or courses.”Chelsea Ayling - Member Relations and

Communications Officer

VICTORIAN LOCAL GOVERNANCE

ASSOCIATION

“Abby is a delight to learn from. She is clearly

passionate about corporate sponsorship and being able

to support the Not for Profit sector. She has a great level

of knowledge and willingly shares it to ensure a sound

level of understanding by discussing issues in different

environments and by giving great real-life examples.”Tina Turner - Membership Services Officer

MANAGER’S ASSOCIATION

“Thank you for your fantastic workshop and your infinite energy to deliver it. Not everyone would have enough

energy, enthusiasm and persistence to do what you do. You are amazing. You have shown us the way to not only

secure sponsorships, but also how to take care of ourselves, when rejected in the process.”Marzena Clarke - Association Services Manager

“Abby’s buoyant and passionate

approach to the sponsorship topic kept

me focussed and instilled a desire to

more skilfully approach prospective

partners. Thank you.“Leanne Brown - Accounts Coordinator
