Individual Sponsorship is a mutually beneficial arrangement where the City of Cockburn provides financial support for participation in significant events, activities, services, or endeavours, in exchange for public recognition.

There are two Sponsorship categories: Individuals and Groups.

This record refers to Individual sponsorship. This partnership not only enhances community value but also serves as an investment in recognition opportunities that promote the long-term interests of both the City of Cockburn and its beneficiaries.

The event or activity must:

• Be of benefit to the local community and/or the City of Cockburn generally.
• Provide brand exposure and public recognition benefits to the City of Cockburn.
• Increase awareness and raise the profile of the City of Cockburn, in line with its desired image. 

The maximum funding available in the Sponsorship (Individual) category will not exceed $1,000, however sponsorship will generally be approved for a lesser amount.

Applications that can demonstrate a financial or in-kind contribution to the project or event will be considered favourably, as will those who source funding from other sources.

Sponsorship (Individual) applications will be open all year-round. Applications must be submitted at least two months before your project or event. Applications will be assessed and notified within two months of the outcome of the application.

You are eligible for Individual Sponsorship if you are:

• A resident of the City of Cockburn
• Able to provide examples of community support for your proposal
• Attending a significant event or activity at a National or International level for which you have been selected on the basis of your individual endeavours in your chosen activity. (Individuals must supply supporting documentation from the relevant governing association of the activity).
• Attending or completing a significant activity that benefits the community.

Applications are invited from all ages for a range of projects, events or activities including sporting, welfare, education and arts/cultural, unless eligible to apply for funding through the City's Junior Sports Travel Assistance Program or Youth Art Scholarship Program.
