COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you send.

When should a team send a sponsor thank-you?

Send a short note soon after the support arrives, then follow up with proof of recognition when the promised item is delivered.

Should the letter include a tax receipt?

Only provide an official receipt if the organization is authorized to issue one. This template is not tax advice.

Can I post the thank-you publicly?

Ask the sponsor and follow league or school rules before publishing a name, logo, photo, or quote.
