Sponsorship Program
The revised Sponsorship Program incorporates funding opportunities for events that complement the focus areas identified as priorities for the Strathbogie Shire Council.
An annual program of events within the Shire adds significantly to the social health of the community, assists to raise awareness of the destination to identified markets, provides an economic benefit to local businesses and directly assists to increase the average length of stay of visitors.
Opportunities to attract or develop an event to a level of regional and state significance could be supported by Strathbogie Shire Council relevant to available resources.
Applications are sought for events that:
- Promote community engagement and participation.
- Support gender equality and social inclusion and improve accessibility.
- Contribute to building healthy and vibrant communities.
- Increase economic development, tourism and the visitor economy.
Information sessions (details set out below) will be held in conjunction with those for the Community Grants Program and will discuss:
- The changes to the Sponsorship Program
- The alignment with the Community Grants Program and the application process
- Overview of SmartyGrants application process
- The Event Application process
- Questions and Answers

Attendance at one of these sessions is highly recommended to ensure you are aware of the requirements of the application process and to clarify any concerns.
It is also important that, if you are planning on applying for Sponsorship for an event, you read the guidelines first before discussing your application with a member of the Arts, Culture and Economy Team.
In addition to the information sessions, we are holding drop-in sessions. These sessions are one-on-one sessions and you are required to make an appointment. The details of these drop-in sessions are set out below.

The 2019-2020 Sponsorship Program is applicable to those events that will take place in the financial year from 1 July 2019 - 30 June 2020. This is a rolling program conducted over the financial year period, and applications will be accepted until the allocated funding has been distributed.
