Community Sponsorships

If you would like the Corporation to consider supporting your activities, you will need to submit an application or proposal. Every year we receive hundreds of proposals and unfortunately we cannot meet all these needs. These guidelines are designed to enable us to best assist a broad cross-section of the community and trade-related organisations in a fair and equitable manner.
