I'm in a similar position. We incorporated as a 501c6, and were able to secure a few initial sponsorships that make our move-in costs bearable. However, we now need to look at structuring an ongoing sponsorship program.

I haven't really found anything more specific than that. We love our sponsors, and they love us and we really want to find more of those great connections in the community. I'm working on a draft of a Sponsor Packet right now, and wouldn't mind brainstorming a bit. if you want to chat offline sometime (via email or videoconference), I'm game.
