Our origin story…

ZipSprout started in 2016 with a simple belief: local relationships matter.

It was a way to connect businesses with real people and organizations in their backyards—long before ‘local sponsorship’ became a line item in SEO playbooks.

While these partnerships drive visibility and revenue for businesses, they’re mainly about sparking relationships that go beyond the link.

Instead of treating link building as a nuisance, spamming every prospect with automated messages, we developed a process to build links through relationships by finding a way to benefit both sides.

The business earns real visibility and trust in the community.

The nonprofit gets resources and long-term support for its mission, becoming visible to future ZipSprout clients looking to sponsor in the same community.

After nine years, 23,240 sponsorships facilitated, and $8.3 million placed, we still run on the same belief: real connections create value that can’t be manufactured.

Our mission

To create meaningful connections between businesses and grassroots organizations through local sponsorships that strengthen communities and drive real-world impact.

Our vision

A world where marketing builds lasting relationships between local businesses and grassroots organizations, creating positive change in communities.

What makes us different

Most link-building agencies blast emails and hope someone gives them a link.

That’s not what we do.

We talk directly with nonprofits and make sure every sponsorship is a real fit.
We find the community leaders most marketers overlook, connecting them with businesses that want to support meaningful change.

Yes, it drives visibility, traffic, and revenue.
But more importantly, these sponsorships turn into long-term relationships that outlast any one campaign.

Since 2016, we’ve delivered over $8M in sponsorships and built a network of 152,000+ organizations.   All through real relationships that put marketing dollars back into local communities and give businesses a meaningful way to show up where it matters.

It’s win-win-win.
