Notes on Becoming a Sponsor. . .
Thank you for your interest in becoming a sponsor of our 2012 Social Innovation Fast Pitch event. SIFP is a program presented by Social Venture Partners Seattle, a WA 501(c)3 since 1997. The SIFP program has been created to make highly publicized awards to innovative, high potential social businesses and innovative non-profit programs selected through the SIFP process. By shining a spotlight on both nonprofit and for-profit organizations working to address social issues in the Puget Sound area, we will attract more investment capital, philanthropic donations, and social entrepreneurs to the impact-investing sector.
The following information details the various levels of contribution and the benefits associated with each sponsorship level for our 2011 program. Levels and benefits are currently being updated for the 2012 program.
| Contribution Level | Benefactor | Founder | Platinum | Gold | Silver |
| Amount | $10k to $50k+ | $5,000 | $5,000 | $3,000 | $1,500 |
| Max Number Available | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD | TBD |
If you are interested in sponsoring SIFP for 2012, and obtaining preferred rates by committing early, please email Sponsor <at> SIFP <dot> net. Note that the 2012 SIFP program will begin awareness generation sometime in Q1, so early sponsorship commitments will result in more value for the same price. We already have donor + sponsor commitments of over $50,000.
