Sample Emails
The following email is used as a guide for communication.
Feedback from Existing Sponsors
Feedback on sponsorship options:
<Contact>: Your interest in sponsoring OSGeo is greatly appreciated. Sponsorship is used to help cover costs for our technology infrastructure, outreach activities and supporting the promotion and development efforts of our projects. We are looking at a number of creative options for sponsorship and have two alternatives for consideration: https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo_2015_Sponsorship Can I ask for your feedback on these two options? I would like a chance to answer your questions and listen to any suggestions you may have before proceeding with a recommendation to the board. For information on current sponsorship levels and benefits see our sponsorship page at: http://www.osgeo.org/sponsorship . -- Jody Garnett OSGeo Board
Prior Sponsors
Sample sponsorship drive to prior sponsors:
[contact]: OSGeo is restarting our sponsorship program and would like to ask if you are interested in supporting us this year. Records show that you have participated since ..... with a sponsorship of $... We have revised sponsorship levels for 2015 with a number of creative options. As a well-known and longstanding sponsor of OSGeo we would like to recommend silver sponsorship. As part of this sponsorship drive we are soliciting feedback on the value OSGeo can provide your organization, and any sponsorship benefits we may be in position to offer. If you have a moment for an email discussion or hangout it would be great to hear from you. -- Jody Garnett OSGeo Board
Local Event Sponsors
Sample sponsorship drive for local event sponsors:
<Contract>: OSGeo is restarting our sponsorship program and would like to ask if you are interested in supporting us this year. We have a number of creative options for local event sponsors, based on your existing sponsorship of the GeoNode code-sprint you are already considered a Bronze sponsor. We would like your permission to list you as such on the OSGeo sponsors page. With our revised sponsorship levels we would encourage you to consider Silver sponsorship either directly by sponsoring OSGeo, sponsoring the Paris Code Sprint or sponsoring FOSS4G 2016 in Bonn. As part of this sponsorship drive we are soliciting feedback on the value OSGeo can provide your organization, and any sponsorship benefits we may be in position to offer. If you have a moment for an email discussion or hangout it would be great to hear from you. -- Jody Garnett OSGeo Board
