What is a Sponsorship?
Sponsorships in Handbid are tickets that include multiple entrances to the event and may also include a donation element. For instance, a corporation/individual would like to purchase a Sponsorship that includes 20 sales eats/entrances/slots for the event and a donation amount. The corporation/individual may not choose to pay through a personal credit card, but rather through a business check, foundation check, donor-advised funds etc... the corporation can then invite their own guests and manage their own guest list. We call these "Pay Later" tickets in Handbid. Click here for more details on Sponsorships in Handbid.
