Common questions
About sponsorship days and approaching businesses.
A sponsor day is when a business or individual "claims" a specific day on your calendar by donating that day's face amount (Day 25 = $25, Day 31 = $31). Instead of individual donors claiming days, you approach local businesses to sponsor high-value days upfront. Their name appears on your campaign calendar as the sponsor of that day.
Focus on higher-value days (25-31) for maximum impact. A business sponsoring Day 31 contributes $31, while Day 10 is only $10. You can also spread sponsor asks across the month for visibility or focus on weekends if that fits your campaign. Use the picker tool to generate suggestions based on your strategy.
Start with 3-5 realistic asks. Each sponsorship request takes time—personalize the letter, follow up, and close. Five committed sponsors at high-value days (25-31) contribute $135+ to your campaign. Quality over quantity: one confirmed sponsor beats ten ignored requests.
Recognition on your campaign calendar is the primary benefit. You can also offer social media mentions, newsletter features, or event signage—details depend on your organization's capacity. Keep promises modest and deliverable. MonthFund shows the sponsor name publicly on the claimed day.
No. The picker shows the exact face value sum of selected days—not a pledge forecast. Actual contributions depend on businesses saying yes. If you select Days 28-31 for $118 total, that's the math if all four sponsors confirm. Plan for some nos.
With MonthFund, send the business your campaign link. They click the day, enter their information, and pay via Stripe. They receive an automatic receipt. No cash to chase, no check to deposit. Paper campaigns require manual collection.
How it worksYes. A business could sponsor Days 28, 29, 30, and 31 for a combined $118. Larger sponsors sometimes prefer a "block" of the final week. Present this as a premium option in your sponsorship letter.
Day N = $N is the face value, but donors (including sponsors) can give more. If a business sponsors Day 25 but wants to contribute $50, the extra $25 goes toward your campaign as an over-give. The picker tool shows face value only; over-gives are upside.
