How Sponsorship Works on Share a Goal

How companies sponsor campaigns and match donations under Share a Goal's no-custody model — funds move straight to campaigns, never held by the platform.

What is Sponsorship?

Sponsorship lets companies and organizations support campaigns they believe in. As a sponsor you can pledge funds to a campaign and match donations made by the community — multiplying the impact of every dollar given.

Sponsors get prominent visibility on the campaigns they back, building goodwill and brand recognition while making a real difference.

No Custody: How Money Actually Moves

Share a Goal does not hold sponsor or donor money. There is no platform wallet you "top up." Instead:

  • You save a payment method when you set up matching — not a prepaid balance.
  • You are charged only when a match triggers. When a qualifying donation arrives, your saved method is charged for exactly the matched amount, and those funds settle directly to the campaign's connected account.
  • The platform never takes custody of the pass-through money. Share a Goal charges no fee on donations or matches.

This "charge-on-trigger" design means matching promises are honored without the platform ever holding your funds.

Becoming a Sponsor

  • Create your sponsor profile — company name, logo, website, mission.
  • Get verified — our team confirms your organization is legitimate, which builds trust with owners and donors.
  • Browse campaigns — once verified, find causes that fit your values.

Proposing a Sponsorship

  • Choose a campaign and click "Propose Sponsorship."
  • Set your pledge amount — what you are committing.
  • Pick a display tier (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze) — sets your logo size and placement.
  • Enable matching (optional) and save a payment method.
  • Add a message explaining why you support the cause.

The campaign owner reviews and accepts or declines.

Donation Matching Explained

  • Matching ratio — e.g. 2:1 means for every $1 a donor gives, you add $2.
  • Budget cap — the maximum you will match. Matching stops automatically at the cap.
  • Min/max thresholds — only match donations within a size range (e.g. $10–$500).

Example: a 2:1 match with a $5,000 cap. A donor gives $100 — your saved method is charged $200, settled to the campaign. This repeats until the $5,000 cap is reached.

Tracking & Transparency

  • Sponsor dashboard shows every triggered match, the amount charged, and remaining budget.
  • Both you and the owner can see exactly how matching has been applied.

Matching Rule Lifecycle

  • Active — qualifying donations are matched in real time and charged on trigger.
  • Auto-exhausts — when the budget cap is reached, matching stops.
  • Adjustable — raise the cap or update the saved method to resume.

Because charges happen per match against your saved method, donors and owners can always trust that matching promises are fulfilled.
