Raising sponsorship to contribute towards the costs of staging the games is a matter for the London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG), a private company operating independently of Government. LOCOG must raise its revenues through sponsorship, ticketing, media rights and merchandise. Together with contributions from the International Olympic Committee's global sponsors, over £1 billion of private sector sponsorship has been raised and will fund around half of LOCOG's total budget.
