Cheer sponsor inventory guide
Before asking any business for support, a program should know what it can legitimately offer in return. This guide helps coaches list those assets and check them against the rules that apply.
Start the conversationInventory before packages
List what is real and permitted first.
Sponsor packages built on assets a program cannot actually deliver damage trust. Start by listing every recognition opportunity you control, then confirm which are allowed under your school, league or organization rules.
Social media
Recognition posts, where your program's policies allow them.
Events
Mentions at home events, showcases or banquets.
Signage
Banners or boards at venues you control and where signage is permitted.
Announcements
PA or MC recognition during events, if the venue allows it.
Booth or table
Space for a supporter at a program-run event.
Clinics and camps
Recognition at a clinic or camp your program runs.
Community activation
Volunteer days or appearances that connect the team with a supporter's community.
Apparel recognition
Only where rules permit. Many schools and governing bodies restrict logos on competition uniforms — confirm before offering it.

Coach questions
Clear answers before the request.
- What is the difference between cash and in-kind support?
- Cash support is money. In-kind support is goods or services, such as printing or venue use. Record both clearly, with what was provided and what recognition was agreed.
- Can sponsor logos go on competition uniforms?
- It depends on your school, league or governing body. Many restrict it. Confirm the rules before offering apparel recognition.
- Is sponsorship tax-deductible?
- Made4Motion does not give tax advice. Supporters should ask their own adviser.
