Send letters to the individuals with whom you meet or speak over the telephone. Thank them for their time and consideration. If you do not receive a positive response from your first attempt, do not despair! Contact additional sponsors and be persistent. Many of the individuals or businesses that sponsor you may give you only a portion of the program costs. You will likely have to accumulate your total goal from a number of sources. If you succeed with one of your early requests, consider using that information in subsequent letters. Potential sponsors often like to know who else might be a sponsor, so include the names of your sponsors in your letter as it may further encourage additional support.
