# CCG 2026 Sponsor Outreach Email

**Subject:** Partnership opportunity: Crypto Commons Gathering 2026 (Austrian Alps, Aug 16-22)

---

Hi [Name],

I'm writing from the **Crypto Commons Gathering** — a week-long unconference in the Austrian Alps where 100+ builders, researchers, and activists working on regenerative finance, cooperative economics, and commons-based infrastructure come together every summer.

**CCG is entering its 6th edition** this August 16-22, and we're reaching out to values-aligned organizations about partnership opportunities for this year's gathering.

### Why CCG?

This isn't a typical crypto conference. It's a week of co-living, co-creating, and collective imagination in an off-grid mountain retreat. No expo booths. No keynote theater. Just genuine relationship-building between the people shaping regenerative futures.

Over five editions, CCG has:
- Brought together **400+ participants** from **25+ countries**
- Catalyzed movements like **#CoFi** (Cooperative Finance) and **#MycoFi** (Mycelial Finance)
- Incubated **15+ projects** in regenerative finance and cooperative infrastructure
- Built an active community of **500+ members** with a ~40% return rate

Our attendees include teams from Regen Network, EthicHub, Circles UBI, ReFi DAO, Holochain, Economic Space Agency, and many more — people who lead projects with real traction and influence discourse across crypto-commons, open source, and regenerative communities.

### Sponsorship Tiers

We're seeking €10,000–15,000 in total sponsorship to cover event coordination, accessibility programs, and documentation — costs that ticket revenue alone can't sustain. We have three tiers:

**MYCELIUM Partner — €5,000**
- 2 full-access passes
- 30-minute sponsored session slot
- Logo on website hero, all event materials & badges
- Spotlight in pre-event comms + post-event report
- "Official Sponsor of CCG 2026" usage rights

**SPORE Supporter — €2,500**
- 1 full-access pass + priority registration
- Logo on website sponsor section & event signage
- Social media recognition + newsletter mention

**FRIEND OF THE COMMONS — €1,000**
- 1 pass at 50% off
- Name/logo on website supporters section
- Social media thank-you + ceremony acknowledgment

We also welcome **alternative partnerships**: track sponsorship, meal sponsorship, travel grants for underrepresented participants, documentation support, or in-kind technology contributions.

### What Makes This Different

Every euro is accounted for transparently — we publish full budget breakdowns publicly. No organizing team members are paid from event funds. All organizers cover their own expenses. Your sponsorship directly funds event coordination, accessibility, and making CCG available to people who couldn't otherwise attend.

I noticed [Organization]'s work on [specific project/initiative], and I think there's strong alignment with what we're building. I'd love to explore what a partnership could look like.

Would you be open to a brief conversation? I'm happy to share our full sponsorship package with detailed budget breakdown.

Best,
