IEG, the company that operates Sponsorship.com points out that sponsorship is the world's fastest growning form of marketing. They project that this year alone, corporations will spend almost $25 BILLION, sponsoring causes, events, sports, arts and entertainment.

If you are looking for a corporate sponsor for your cause, IEG can help you find companies that are looking for groups like yours.
