## Template 1: Cold Outreach (ReFi/Web3 Projects)
|
|
|
|
**Subject:** Partnership opportunity: Crypto Commons Gathering 2026
|
|
|
|
Hi [Name],
|
|
|
|
I'm reaching out from the Crypto Commons Gathering—a week-long unconference in the Austrian Alps where builders working on regenerative finance, cooperative economics, and commons-based infrastructure come together.
|
|
|
|
CCG is entering its **6th edition** this August, and movements like #CoFi and #MycoFi were born from connections made at previous gatherings.
|
|
|
|
I noticed [Organization]'s work on [specific project/initiative], and I think there's strong alignment with our community. We're looking for partners who share our vision of what post-capitalist economic infrastructure could look like.
|
|
|
|
**Quick facts:**
|
|
- 100+ participants from 20+ countries
|
|
- ReFi builders, DAO governance researchers, cooperative founders
|
|
- August 16-22, 2026 in the Austrian Alps
|
|
|
|
Would you be open to a brief call to explore partnership possibilities? We have sponsorship tiers from €1,000-€5,000, plus in-kind options.
|
|
|
|
Happy to share our full sponsorship package if helpful.

## Template 2: Warm Introduction (Mutual Connection)
|
|
|
|
**Subject:** CCG 2026 sponsorship—[Mutual Contact] suggested I reach out
|
|
|
|
Hi [Name],
|
|
|
|
[Mutual Contact] mentioned you might be interested in the Crypto Commons Gathering—our annual unconference at the intersection of crypto, regenerative finance, and commons building.
|
|
|
|
We're preparing for our 6th edition this August (16-22) in the Austrian Alps, and we're seeking partners aligned with our mission.
|
|
|
|
**What makes CCG different:**
|
|
- Not a conference—a week-long co-living/co-creating experience
|
|
- No keynote theater—fully participant-driven agenda
|
|
- Deep relationships, not superficial networking
|
|
- Community has spawned #CoFi and #MycoFi movements
|
|
|
|
Given [Organization]'s work on [specific area], I think there could be strong synergies.
|
|
|
|
Our sponsorship tiers range from €1,000 to €5,000, and we're also open to creative partnerships (track sponsorships, travel grants, in-kind contributions).
|
|
|
|
Worth a 15-minute call to explore?
|
|
|
|
Best,
|

## Template 3: Follow-up After Sending Package
|
|
|
|
**Subject:** Following up on CCG 2026 sponsorship
|
|
|
|
Hi [Name],
|
|
|
|
Just wanted to follow up on the sponsorship package I sent over for Crypto Commons Gathering 2026.
|
|
|
|
I know these decisions take time—happy to jump on a quick call if you have questions, or if it's helpful to discuss what kind of partnership might fit [Organization]'s goals.
|
|
|
|
A few things that might be relevant:
|
|
|
|
- **Audience:** 100+ builders/researchers in ReFi, DAOs, cooperative economics
|
|
- **Format:** Week-long retreat (August 16-22, Austrian Alps)—deep relationships, not drive-by networking
|
|
- **Flexibility:** We're open to creative partnerships beyond standard tiers
|
|
|
|
No pressure either way—just wanted to make sure you had everything you needed.
|
|
|
|
Best,
|
|

|
|
|
**Subject:** CCG 2026—continuing our partnership?
|
|
|
|
Hi [Name],
|
|
|
|
I hope this message finds you well. As we prepare for the 6th edition of Crypto Commons Gathering (August 16-22, 2026), I wanted to reach out about continuing our collaboration.
|
|
|
|
Last year's gathering was incredible—[mention specific outcome if known]—and we're building on that momentum.
|
|
|
|
**What's new for 2026:**
|
|
- Commons Hub expanding with ecovillage plans
|
|
- Crypto Commons Association transitioning to cooperative model
|
|
- Growing interest from [relevant area] communities
|
|
|
|
We'd love to have [Organization] as a partner again. Given your previous support, I'd be happy to discuss returning sponsor benefits or explore new partnership structures that fit your current priorities.
|
|
|
|
Would you have time for a brief call in the next few weeks?
|
|
|
|
Warm regards,
|
|
[Your name]

## Template 5: Ecosystem/Grant Programs
|
|
|
|
**Subject:** Funding opportunity: Crypto Commons Gathering 2026
|
|
|
|
Dear [Grants Team/Name],
|
|
|
|
I'm writing on behalf of the Crypto Commons Association regarding potential funding for Crypto Commons Gathering 2026.
|
|
|
|
**About CCG:**
|
|
CCG is a week-long unconference (August 16-22, Austrian Alps) that has run annually since 2020. It brings together 100+ builders, researchers, and activists working on regenerative finance, cooperative economics, and commons-based infrastructure. Movements like #CoFi (Cooperative Finance) and #MycoFi (Mycelial Finance) emerged from CCG.
|
|
|
|
**Funding Request:**
|
|
We're seeking sponsorship/grant support in the range of [€1,000-€5,000] to support:
|
|
- Accessibility grants for participants from underrepresented regions
|
|
- Event infrastructure and documentation
|
|
- Community coordination and outreach
|
|
|
|
**Alignment with [Foundation/Program]:**
|
|
[Customize based on their focus—e.g., "Your focus on regenerative finance ecosystems aligns directly with CCG's mission..."]
|
|
|
|
**Deliverables:**
|
|
We commit to full financial transparency (publicly published budgets), recognition appropriate to the contribution level, and a post-event impact report.
|
|
|
|
I've attached our full sponsorship package and would welcome the opportunity to discuss this further.
|
|
|
|
Best regards,
|
