School Funding
Sponsorship
While Deliver Change is primarily responsible for the sponsorship of AirSensas for schools, we also encourage and support schools to take control – if they so wish. There are many benefits and ways to do so (detailed below), but it is important to highlight that finding your own sponsors is by no means necessary. It is in Deliver Change’s interest to find sponsors for schools, but – we are only a small organisation and welcome any help or support.
What is the Benefit?
You can get one quicker. Most sponsors will specify a specific school or schools, but there are some who do not have preferences. It is these sponsors that fund the first come, first served list. For that reason, it may be some time before a unit is sponsored and ready for a school on the waiting list. Therefore, if a school can find a sponsor – the delivery and installation would be a lot quicker.
You could get multiple for your site. While Deliver Change offers 2 AirSensas for large sites or multiple campuses, this again could take time. You may wish engage with a sponsor to get multiple AirSensas for your school.
A great opportunity for developing community relationships. AirSensa, improving education and enhancing health is a great topic for a community as a whole to engage with – providing the perfect opportunity to make new connections and relationships, encouraging local businesses to support their local school.
Businesses
Businesses of varying sizes are motivated to support their local community; perhaps it is the large multi-national or maybe a collective of small, local businesses.
Parents
The parents/guardians of your pupils have a vested interest in the standard of education and the health of their children. They, therefore, may be able to engage with the company they work for, or are even the owners themselves.
Public Sector
In the past, there has been funding available from various sources, e.g. the Majors office, to support projects in schools. Deliver Change will do their best to keep schools up-to-date with any relevant funding that may be available.
How to engage potential sponsors
Newsletter and other comms
School news bulletins is a great way to engage with your potential audience, be it an online bulletin, a school newsletter, social media or printed leaflet
Direct contact
It would be possible to have face-to-face discussions at school or community events
Word of mouth
Asking the school community (such as parents and teachers) to enquire in their personal network, to see if anyone would be interested.
