Make your work sponsor-ready.
Start with what you want to make happen. Door Money helps you shape the purpose, the audience, the sponsorship offer and the delivery promise, so the right sponsor can understand the opportunity. You choose what to offer, what it costs and who appears beside your name.
Door Money keeps 15% of completed sponsorships. There is no fee before something sells.
Choose a starter kit
A starter kit is a way to begin describing your project. It fills the new fundraiser form with examples. Change any of them. Choosing one offers nothing, sets no price and publishes nothing: your price is the price.

Every example is a possibility, not an included benefit. An organizer offers only what they have the authority to deliver.
From an ambition to a sponsor-ready project
A tour, a season, a production, a series, a practice. Say what you want to make happen and why it matters. One fundraiser, one named project.
Travel, equipment, a venue, the time to do the work. A sponsor should be able to see what their money makes possible.
The audience, and where the work meets it: in a room, across a season, online. Leave out what you do not know.
What appears, where, and what the sponsor can count on. Offer only the placements you have the authority to deliver, and no sponsor's materials appear without your approval.
Your price is the price, fixed or open to bids. Door Money suggests one only where it has a sales history to suggest from. The terms say how you will document delivery.
A draft holds what is known so far. Publishing asks for the answers a sponsor needs, and nothing is public before then.

Music fundraisers are open to sponsors today. Depending on the category, organizers can publish fundraisers or prepare private drafts; sponsorship payments open when delivery terms are ready.
A widget for a musician's own site
A music fundraiser comes with a widget for the musician's own site. It shows the current fundraiser and takes backings from fans, on the musician's own page rather than a third party's.
It arrives on day one at no extra cost. Backings and their tiers are built for music. Other categories do not have a widget yet.
When you are paid, and what stays yours
Door Money holds what a sponsor pays and releases your share under your fundraiser's terms, as you deliver and document the promise. A music fundraiser pays out weekly across its dates.
Every sponsor's materials need your approval before anything appears.
Tickets, sales, fees and grants are yours. Door Money only ever touches the sponsorship money it brings in.
Claim an address and publish
Your project gets an address of its own and a place among the projects sponsors browse. Nothing is public until you publish it.
