Before/After of a sponsorship letter (my edits)

Published: Thu, 02/18/21

I’ve taught this workshop a couple of times already, but this time I’m going to do something that is a little unusual:

Last year one of my students, Kim Lee, posted a sponsorship request on Facebook that got her over $1200 in support. I’m going to show you how I would change her post if we were to write the same request now, during the pandemic.

What Kim wrote in November 2019:

How I would write it in November 2020:

How would I write it for winter / spring 2021? I would scratch that paragraph above and insert “this has been a year of challenges for all of us, but I have been also making more art, and that has helped me to manage this difficult time.”

I want to show you this Before / After because I have a lot of students at the Praxis Center asking me:

“Is this the wrong time (during a pandemic) to ask for money?”

Yes and No. It is nuanced, there are do’s and don'ts for sure.

And the best way to teach this?

To SHOW you the nuances. The actual edits I would make.

If you want to discover the Before/After for yourself, then grab your spot, grab your coffee and see you on Monday at 1:00 pm EST:

You will walk away knowing exactly how to frame the dream you have using what I call the Ilia and Emilia Kabakov technique so that it gets funded. (Even in a pandemic)
