Community-Focused SponsorshipNonprofit News Underwriting for an Engaged World

A Unique OpportunityCommunity-Focused SponsorshipThe best method of advertisement

Normally a publisher decides where sponsorship money goes.

We let the community decide!

Consumer engagement with advertising is encouraged by giving users a stake in how revenue is spent.

We can guarantee an engaged user and provide results back to you.

Engaged users complete the survey and are given Spot dollars they can assign to stories they would like to see funded.

This is repeated until all the funds are distributed.

Results to questions and surveys are sent back to you.


It’s simple, engaging and the new wave of sponsorship.

As a sponsor you will designate a certain amount of funding to Spot.Us and are awarded the opportunity to create a number of engaging questions around your cause, brand or product.
