Pageant Sponsor Letter Template

For many reasons, pageantry is a big investment. However, the financial investment is typically the most off-putting factor of competing in a pageant for potential contestants. Listen, we get it. Pageants are expensive to put it lightly and the idea of paying an entree fee, buying a stage-worthy gown, and paying for professional headshots can be a lot for most people. While you may be crunching the numbers and thinking, “There is no way I can afford this”, do not give up just yet. Even though your total pageant budget may look scary, if you are a business-savvy queen, there are ways that every pageant enthusiast can compete for their dream title without breaking the bank.


Being a cost-effective queen means using your networking and marketing skills to gain businesses and private sponsors that will support you in your pageant endeavors by providing you with financial support. A sponsor may be a local business, a family member or friend, or even a corporation. These sponsors may choose to simply write you a check for an amount of their choosing to help you pay off any fees or expenses or, depending on the business, they may provide you with a service like free manicures or hair extensions to help you prepare for the pageant.


While it may be easy to identify the businesses or individuals who you feel may be willing to sponsor you, actually securing a sponsor is a different story. In order to help you girl-boss your way to the stage by gaining as many sponsors as possible, we have provided a free Pageant Sponsor Letter template to help get you started!
