\nSponsorship isn\u2019t about giving away money to a good cause: that\u2019s donating. Sponsorship offers two parties the opportunity to be part of a win\u2013win agreement.<\/p>\n

In return for their support, sponsors get the same feel-good factor they would get from donating. But on top of that, they also get a return on the investment in their chosen cause. So, true sponsorship offers an organisation something sustainable and tangible in return for its commitment.<\/p>\n

Sponsors get clear returns on their investment<\/h2>\n

Sponsoring the Plain English Awards offers clear returns on your investment, such as:<\/p>\n

\n
• alignment with plain English values. You\u2019re seen as customer-focused, transparent, and trustworthy<\/li>\n
• brand exposure. Forget about advertising! You\u2019ll be widely promoted in our Awards publicity, reaching large groups of potential new customers<\/li>\n
• networking opportunities. Plain English Awards entries come from a huge range of public and private organisations. The networking opportunities you get from Awards forums (in person and online) offer a hugely valuable return, as does the actual presentation ceremony.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
