Recruit Sponsors

There are a number of costs that are associated with running a hackathon including food, supplies, venue, and volunteers' time. Finding sponsors to help offset these costs (and to engage in your event) is important and should be started early.

[ ] Reach out to local businesses, community foundations, and startup groups
[ ] Look for in-kind donations such as venue, food, and use of software platforms or hosted space

Optional, but helpful:

[ ] Create a sponsorship packet describing your event with different levels of sponsorship, including options for in-kind donations
[ ] If your event costs are particularly high, dedicate a single person to pursuing sponsorship for the event

Will you be having a Brigade leadership meeting any time soon? I think that hammering out the specifics of what is needed/wanted and having a presentation together would help talk to people. I will be willing to approach the CACE at Armstrong, but I need some something concrete to work with.
