- E-mail or call local companies that are familiar to you. Finding local sponsors might be more work than contacting big global companies, but in the end it pays off because a local company is more likely to sponsor you and want to build a relationship with you. It is very likely that they will help you out with a future workshop or follow-up event in your town as well.
- Post a "call for help" on your social media channels. Maybe someone will join you!

- Reach out to global companies and organizations or ask the [Django Software Foundation](https://djangoproject.com/) for help. Keep in mind that the Django Software Foundation is a charity with a very limited budget, so __only ask them if you really need their help__.

- Reach out to global companies and organizations or apply for [Django Software Foundation sponsorship](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScjgDMLz10wsIfFRUGxVL-ejNpqcRJdca1jBGSEJUrUbCmi4g/viewform) for help.

Also try to find global companies that haven't sponsored Django Girls events yet.
- The [Python Software Foundation (PSF)](https://www.python.org/psf/) typically provides up to $25 per attendee grant for Python Educational Programs (you are eligible for that!) and will consider funding up to two workshops per year, per organiser and region (workshops must be a minimum of 6 months apart). Keep in mind that the Python Software Foundation is a charity, so before asking them for help, __try exploring local companies who use Python & Django first__. To send them a grant request, download and edit the grant propopsal template [available here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/10a1_WXIVGYxpGTFipne516UxWUjySo-_c4-0zV89ARA/edit?usp=sharing) and follow the PSF's instructions described [on their website](https://www.python.org/psf/grants/).
- [Lincoln Loop](https://lincolnloop.com/) and [Divio](https://www.divio.ch/en/) are companies who support us via [Patreon](https://patreon.com/djangogirls), so please __don't get in touch with them__, as they can't handle replying to emails from organizers from all over the world.
- Please be aware that if the company is already listed as a Django Girls global sponsor, they might not be open to support local event. Target local companies first and if you reach out to the global sponsors, please be tactful and take into account that they may not have any extra budget left.
