How to Add Sponsorships to Your Auction

Sponsorships are gifts from businesses or people who support your auction. Argenta lets you record both cash sponsorships and in-kind sponsorships, which are donated goods or services.

Where to Find Sponsorships

1. Open your auction
2. Click Sponsorships in the workspace menu

Adding a Sponsorship

1. Click Add A New Sponsorship
2. Enter the sponsor name and contact details
3. Choose the sponsorship type, category, and level
4. Enter the amount for a cash sponsorship, or mark it as in-kind for a donated item or service
5. Set the status so you can track where the sponsorship stands
6. Save the sponsorship

Cash and In-Kind

• Cash sponsorships add to your auction income totals
• In-kind sponsorships are tracked for your records but are not counted as cash, since no money changes hands

Seeing the Totals

Your sponsorships roll up into the Budget & Financials summary, so you can see how much support your auction has brought in.
