Secure $20K–$50K in annual sponsorship for your school.
Accelerator PLUS is a structured professional development program that turns your school's community value into recurring sponsorship revenue, using a proven framework your team owns and runs internally.
School leadership team working through the program
Most schools do not have a sponsorship problem. They have a process problem.
Your school already offers local businesses something valuable: trusted community connections, families, students and visibility.
What is usually missing is a clear way to package that value, approach the right sponsors, and manage the relationship professionally. That is exactly what the framework builds.
A structured framework, from first session to first sponsor.
Structured coaching sessions
Guided sessions identify your school's strongest sponsorship opportunity and package the value your community already offers.
Build your resources
Develop the sponsorship invitation, tiered packages and outreach tools your school will use in market, guided at every step.
Approach and implement
Your team is coached through the first sponsor conversations and the relationship management that keeps sponsors year on year.
Strategy, tools and support: everything needed to go to market.
Accelerator PLUS is not a document or a short course. Your school receives a complete working system, built around your own funding priority, with the coaching to implement it.

Recent results from Australian schools
Schools across government, Catholic and independent sectors have used this framework to secure meaningful sponsorship. Most started with no existing sponsor relationships, and all delivered these results while managing full teaching loads.
Results vary according to the opportunity, local market, implementation and sponsor response. These examples demonstrate what is possible, not a guaranteed financial outcome.

Discuss Your School's SuitabilityMost schools recover the investment from their first sponsor. At $50K+ (Nundah State School's result) the program is covered several times over, with the majority remaining for the school's priority.
You are not buying a document or a short course. You are building an internal sponsorship process, supported by coaching and editable resources, that your team can reuse for years without returning to us.

Thirty years coaching schools, clubs and professional sporting organisations to build their own structured sponsorship programs, including government schools with no existing sponsor relationships and no dedicated marketing staff. The framework behind Accelerator PLUS comes directly from that experience.
What school leaders usually want to know.
Is Accelerator PLUS suitable for government schools?
Yes. The program supports a professional and policy-aware approach to sponsorship, and is used across government, Catholic and independent schools. Your school remains responsible for its internal approvals and applicable departmental requirements.
Will Sponsorship Ready contact sponsors for us?
No. The program builds your school's internal capability. Your team is helped to prepare, select prospects and approach sponsor conversations professionally, but your team makes the contact and owns the relationship.
What if we have never approached sponsors before?
That is not a barrier. The framework gives schools a structured place to begin and guides your team from planning through to early sponsor engagement.
How much time will our team need?
The work is completed in practical stages alongside normal school responsibilities. Timing is planned around your school's capacity and readiness to enter the market.
