🚀 EPIC: Build Enterprise Sponsorship Operations & Event Funding Ecosystem

Start by reading the existing organization, hiring, company, community, and event features before assessing the proposed modules/sponsorship structure. The issue names routes such as /org/sponsors, /org/sponsors/requests, and /org/sponsors/funds, but no existing files or tests are identified. This epic should be split into scoped issues with explicit entry points and acceptance criteria before implementation.
