About Major Events Sponsorships
Major Event Sponsorships are available for incorporated not-for-profit organisations and associations to assist with the delivery of programs, projects, initiatives and events that benefit the Rockingham community.
Major Event Sponsorship applications should be submitted at least 60 business days prior to the program, project, initiative or event and must be held in the Rockingham boundaries.
The organisation/club cannot receive funding for the same program, project, initiative or event in the current financial year.
To qualify for a Major Event Sponsorship the organisation has to meet the following criteria:
- Community Development Events - provide evidence of delivering a successful event in previous year/s, e.g. attracting over 5000 people
- Inaugural events - must demonstrate experience of managing similar scaled events or partnerships engaged utilising these skill sets to deliver a successful event
Major Event Sponsorships can be submitted at any time but will only be assessed and considered twice a year.
