A great starting point is to check out two thread on our message boards: the Ultimate Donation List (the original) and the 2013 Ultimate Donation List.
These threads include input from community members on donors (national, regional, local) that they've had success with when requesting a donation for their event. Some folks post a full list of every donor they've contacted, which are very helpful. We have a search function on the original Ultimate Donation List (because the thread is long!) to help you find particular vendors you might be interested in contacting.

I too would love a list of corporations that have donated. Also, if anyone has a Corporate letter that I might be able to see............Anything would HELP!!! my email is This email address is being protected from spambots.
