The community sponsorship program facilitates mutually beneficial partnerships with eligible organisations in our community.

A sponsorship is an arrangement with Ringwood, Boronia & Bayswater Solution Centres to support an event, activity, individual 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.

Note:

• Charitable donations are not sponsorships. Please talk to us about whether these may qualify via our grants program.
• Direct advertising is not considered a sponsorship.
