Sponsorship/Fundraising

As a member of sponsorship, we should begin with emails. Email every Small Media

Enterprise (SME) we can find online. We must have a clear idea of what we can offer in return

to the people that sponsored us. As for us, we were able offer space in the banner, free tickets,

and free publicities on social medias. We managed to get SheIdore and JC Rainbow as our

sponsors.

Besides that, we also conducted crowd-funding. We went around the area to collect

funds to support the play. While going around we would bring a letter of approval from the

faculty with us to avoid being called a scam.

We also conducted sales such as food sales such as hotdog bun sales, cupcakes and

herbal eggs. We also sold pre-loved items and ticket selling to raise fund.

Besides that, there is also the annual carwash and room cleaning service.

As for the email, there are a few things that are very important. For example, name,

where are you from, intention of the email, signature at the end. There will a sample email to be

referred below in page 2. We would normally reply the email in two days. That would ensure

efficiency and sincerity while dealing with the person in charge. We would also have to follow up

every week to know the progress. While sending the email, do attach a proposal to it as a guide

to the person in charge. If email does not work, call up the people in charge.
