The Port Augusta City Council contributes funds to a range of organisations and individuals for a variety of reasons and occasions each financial year through the provision of Sponsorship, Community Grants and Operating Subsidies.

Sponsorship proposals should fall into one of the following categories:

• Business, industry, economic or city activation
• Cultural, social or the arts
• Environment
• Local Community Support

Organisations must apply for a sponsorship agreement to simplify the financial support arrangements, where they require support in excess of $2,000 per annum. A sponsorship arrangement allows Council to partner with an organisation to provide financial and in-kind support, but also provides an opportunity for Council to obtain benefits in return, such as advertising. 

Eligible groups, organisations and individuals must:

• Be a resident in the City of Port Augusta, or be able to demonstrate that they provide a significant benefit to the Port Augusta community.
• Demonstrate that the purpose of the funding meets a recognised community need.
• Submit the application form before the closing date. Any applications received after the closing date will not be considered.
• Agree in writing to the conditions as set out on the application form.

Council will not consider applications from:

• Applications NOT considered eligible for funding include applicants who have outstanding debts to the Council, applications from organisations, groups or individuals who are involved in political fields or who potentially conflict with Council’s policies
