How Sponsorship Works
- Sponsorships are available to individuals, community organisations, schools, and sporting or cultural groups.
- Applications must outline how the sponsorship will support children, families, or community outcomes.
- Each sponsorship area has a set funding pool. Once that pool is used, no further sponsorships can be offered in that category for the financial year.
- Because funding is limited, allocations are made based on community benefit and alignment with Winanga-li’s values.
Sponsorship Process
1. Application
- Complete the Sponsorship Application Form and submit it to Winanga-li.
- Applications are logged and prepared for review.
2. Internal Review
- The CEO and senior management team review applications for eligibility, community benefit, and alignment with values.
- Recommendations are prepared for the Board.
3. Board Consideration
- Applications and recommendations are tabled at the next scheduled Board Meeting.
- Board meetings are held every two months. Sponsorship requests must be submitted at least three months before funding is required. Applications submitted with less notice may not be considered.
- The Board makes the final decision on sponsorship allocations.
4. Notification
- Applicants are notified in writing of the Board’s decision.
- Both successful and unsuccessful applicants receive a Notification of Outcome Letter.
- Successful applicants also receive a sponsorship agreement outlining terms, funding amount, and reporting requirements.
Post-Sponsorship Process
1. Acknowledgement
- Sponsored individuals, groups, or organisations must acknowledge Winanga-li’s support as outlined in the Sponsorship Agreement.
2. Reporting Back
- A short report with photos, outcomes, and reflections must be submitted within two weeks of the event or project.
- A reporting template is provided with the Notification of Outcome.
- Reports are shared internally, included in Board updates, and may also feature on Winanga-li’s social media pages and website (with appropriate tags and acknowledgements).
- Important: All photos and videos that show identifiable individuals must have a signed Photo and Video Consent Form. This form is included in your Notification of Outcome Letter or can be downloaded from our website.
3. Future Applications
- Groups who complete all reporting requirements remain eligible for future sponsorship rounds.
