Transcript of Infinity Sponsorship Brochure requirements of Sports Medicine Australia and to matching those...
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.

INFINITY SPONSORSHIP - CREATING CONNECTIONS
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.

INFINITY SPONSORSHIP - CREATING CONNECTIONS
“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

“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

“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

“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

“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

“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

approach to the sponsorship topic kept
