Sponsor Ready — Building Presentations That Attract Funding

Join Culture x Design for the next Creative Futures workshop, Sponsor Ready: Building Presentations That Attract Funding Partners, an interactive Creative Clinic designed to help creative entrepreneurs strengthen the way they present their work, value, impact, and partnership opportunities.

Led by Geraud Blanks, Creative Director of Culture x Design, this hands-on session will help participants think more strategically about building pitch decks, sponsorship proposals, one-sheets, and presentations that clearly speak to funders, sponsors, and community partners.

Rather than a traditional lecture, this workshop will function as a live working session. You'll get practical guidance, real-time edits, and constructive feedback on how to communicate your story, audience, goals, budget needs, benefits, and partnership opportunities.

Whether you are preparing to approach sponsors, apply for funding, pitch a creative project, or refine your organization’s presentation materials, this session will help you leave with a stronger understanding of what funding partners are looking for — and how to present your work with clarity and confidence.

Participants are encouraged to bring an existing pitch deck, sponsorship packet, one-sheet, proposal, or project idea to work on during the session.
