I did not appreciate the synergy between sponsorship and philanthropy until I met Joanne.

Joanne is our resident sponsorship expert at the school. Each and every time I hear her teach, I learn something new. Joanne is not only knowledgeable about sponsorship, but she is dedicated to strengthening our communities and that comes through in her courses and workshops.

I highly recommend taking her course. It will change how you think about sponsorship forever!

SFNP has changed the way I approach sponsors, and my applications are stronger as a result.

Joanne’s extensive experience in sponsorship is invaluable and she happily shares her knowledge with registrants and encourages discussion relevant to you. The small group format allows for constructive and thoughtful feedback”

Thank you, Joanne, the day was very informative session for our team.

I appreciate your offer to be open to further questions and support once we start implementing.

Many thanks,

Hi Joanne!

Your workshop was game changing for me.  I LOVED IT!

I can’t believe there are formulas for building sponsorship, and I am pumping up my team with these new tools.

I appreciate your precision in getting information from the attendees. Most workshops don’t take the time to gather attendant-relevant information in advance. It made this powerful day even more personal.

Thank You!

Hi Joanne,

Just wanted to say thank you for the very informative course the other week! It opened my eyes to the depth of what sponsorship could be and got me in the sponsorship mindset! I definitely have my work cut out for me moving forward but at least now I have an understanding of the direction I need to go.

Thank you again,

Joanne works on all sides of the ‘giving’ fence and she uses this lens to bring a unique street-tested best practice approach to amateur sport. As a sport marketing consultant, I have seen how organizations have benefitted from these workshops.

Thank you for a wonderful and very informative workshop.  The step-by-step process was exactly what I was looking for.  I learnt so much and it really gave me practical tools to use.

Any sport not investing in this workshop is missing a real opportunity to build necessary the skills to increase revenue.

We left the workshop swimming with logical sponsorship tactics and a step-by- step plan to make it happen.

This is not a grab-a-few information bites conference format. This is a must-attend workshop for any amateur sport wanting to stay competitive in this practice.

Adding even more value is that Joanne (Joe) is available for registrants to ask questions of her anytime.

Sponsorship for Amateur Sport was a really great session. Information overload with plenty for us to activate when we get back to our offices.  I love how you used the individual sport vernacular as a strategic platform for sponsorship!

Executive Director, Softball BC

I flew in from Prince George, BC to take this course in Vancouver and it was well worth it. This course was very deep in content and chocked-full of strategies for sport to mobilize on our own.  The day was eye opening; I had no understanding of the realities of real sponsorship!

Colleen Bourassa

Executive Director, Boxing BC Association

Sponsorship for Non-Profits (SFNP) should be mandatory for nonprofit or charitable organizations with revenue generation goals that are impacted by sponsorship work.

She uses real-life street-tested cases and provides a 360-degree understanding of sponsorship from start up through to recruitment and delivery.

The smaller workshop format is ideal for those who want an individual focus, to ask questions and bring back to their organization, solutions and plans relevant to them.

Hi Joanne,

I wanted to thank you for all of your guidance, leadership, and hard work in getting us to that place where we could even offer corporate sponsorships and for doing so in a way that reflected our unique make up and experience. I’m grateful for your good cheer and generosity in sharing your wisdom with us.
