A sponsorship as an arrangement with Community Bank Elwood to support an event, activity, or organisation through the provision of money, goods or services.

Our sponsorships typically provide a tangible benefit to both the recipient (which benefits through receiving material support) and the sponsor (which benefits via enhanced public image and access to a wider audience). The recipient is required to provide some service back to the sponsor, such as advertising or tickets.

Please note:

• Charitable donations are not considered sponsorships (these may qualify via our grants program)
• Direct advertising is not considered a sponsorship 
• The Community Bank sponsors organisations rather than individuals
