One place for the whole deal
Most local sponsorships run on emailed PDFs, awkward follow-ups and a check that shows up three months late. Standfield puts the listing, negotiation, contract, payment and proof in one place.
Organizer path
Create your profile
Your organization, past events, photos, and a payout account through our payment partner (identity and bank verification happen here).
Add the event
Dates, venue, attendance (with how you counted it: ticket scans, registrations, gate counts), audience, and your digital reach.
Build packages
Pick from templates for your event type, list each deliverable, set how many slots are available, and price each tier with the value calculator.
Respond to offers
Accept, counter or decline. Once you agree, both sides e-sign the standard agreement.
Deliver and prove it
Hang the banner, run the posts, read the PA script. Upload the proof on the fulfillment checklist.
Get paid
Once proof is approved, the payout goes to your bank account, minus the success fee.
Sponsor path
Set your targets
Where your customers are, who they are, what you want to spend, and what a win looks like: leads, sampling, awareness or community goodwill.
Browse or post a brief
Filter listings yourself, or post a sponsor brief and let organizers pitch you with matching packages.
Make an offer
Buy at the asking price or propose your own terms: a different mix of deliverables, category exclusivity, or a multi-event bundle.
Pay into a hold
Pay by card or ACH. The funds sit with our payment partner and aren't released until the event delivers.
Send your creative
Upload logos, banner files, ad copy and tracking links. The organizer confirms receipt before print deadlines.
Review the proof
Photos, post links, scan counts and a one-page report. Approve it, or open a dispute within 7 days.
The parts that keep both sides honest
Standard agreement
Deliverables, dates, category exclusivity, cancellation and weather terms, and logo usage rights, all filled in from the deal. Both sides e-sign.
Held payment
The sponsor pays up front and the funds are held by our licensed payment partner, then released to the organizer when fulfillment is approved.
Proof of fulfillment
Each deliverable has a checklist item: a time-stamped photo, a live post URL, or a QR scan count. Nothing is marked done until something is uploaded.
Terms you'll see on a listing
| Term | What it means on Standfield |
|---|---|
| Rightsholder | The organizer or team that owns the event and can sell its sponsorship rights. |
| Inventory | Everything that can be sponsored: signs, stage names, PA reads, jersey patches, booths, posts, emails, stream overlays. |
| Presenting / title | The top tier. The sponsor's name goes into the event name ("presented by" or "The ___ Stage"). Usually only one slot. |
| Category exclusivity | No competing brand in the same category (e.g. only one bank) can sponsor the event. |
| Activation | What the sponsor does on-site to engage people: sampling, a photo booth, a game, a giveaway. |
| Fulfillment | Delivering what was promised, and proving it with photos, links and counts. |
| Make-good | A replacement deliverable when something promised couldn't happen (e.g. a rained-out game), agreed by both sides. |
| In-kind | Sponsorship paid in product or services instead of cash. Supported on Standfield; the success fee applies to the agreed value. |
