New Website Tries to Turn Campus Influence into Brand Donation Dollars

Every year more than 300,000 college organizations struggle to connect with brands and get sponsorship for the causes they are most passionate about, CampusSponsorship.com says.

Through the recently launched website, students complete online activities such as puzzles, quizzes, watching and rating a video and such; in exchange for a donation by the brands to the students’ organizations or causes.

After completing the activity students are invited to spread the word, and grow the brand's donation to the group, by asking friends and members to do the same activity. The idea behind Campus Sponsorship was incubated through DreamIt Ventures' startup accelerator program in Philadelphia.

The site's pitch to campus organizations?

"You guarantee that you will interact with a brand's message, and they guarantee that they will donate in return."
