Sponsorship & Speaking Kit
Want to land sponsors, secure guest speakers, and build profitable partnerships, without the awkward back-and-forth, last-minute surprises, or “wait, what did we agree to?” moments?
The Sponsorship & Speaking Kit is your go-to legal bundle to monetise partnerships without awkward conversations. It includes a Sponsorship Agreement, Speaker / Guest Agreement, Print Release, and Model Release, giving you the legal foundations to lock in expectations, protect your brand, and confidently manage sponsor and speaker relationships from start to finish.
The Sponsorship & Speaking Kit is designed for event hosts, educators, business owners, and brands who want to collaborate with sponsors and guest speakers professionally - and get paid properly for it.
Because sponsorships and speaking engagements aren’t just about “a quick collab”, they involve deliverables, timelines, content rights, promotional obligations, and money. And if those things aren’t clearly agreed upfront, you can end up with confusion, disputes, and uncomfortable conversations you never signed up for.
This kit takes the stress out of partnerships by giving you the legal documents you need to outline:
- what each party is responsible for
- what’s being delivered (and when)
- what sponsors receive in return
- how guest speakers will be featured and supported
- what happens if plans change
- who owns the content created
You’ll also receive a Print Release and Model Release, so you can confidently use event photos and content for marketing and promotional purposes, without chasing permissions after the fact.
Whether you’re hosting events, retreats, workshops, summits, webinars, or branded experiences, this kit helps you secure partnerships smoothly, protect your reputation, and keep things legally legit.

IMPORTANT
Purchasing our fill in your blanks templates for you to customise and ensure they suit you and your business needs, utilising our free resources or having a chat with us as part of a consultation doesn’t create a lawyer-client relationship between you and Foundd Legal (sorry!). It also doesn’t constitute legal advice. Please consult with a lawyer for any questions.
We do offer templates for countries outside of Australia, you will see on the specific template page which country or countries the template is available for, just make your selection! Unfortunately at this time, we are only offering templates for the countries specified.
Our templates are however customisable for countries outside of Australia, and whilst they are a good base and potentially save you money getting something created from scratch, it would be prudent to have a lawyer in your country to review the template especially if you have any questions.
You get a single user licence and can re-use the templates you purchase as many times as you want for your own business needs! But keep in mind we’re a small business just like you, offering a service and we need more people like you to help us continue to grow - just like you! So from the bottom of our humble hearts, thank you for making a legit purchase and not sharing!
