The Sustainability Project Sponsorship program supports a wide range of events and initiatives designed to inspire a more sustainable Perth.

The program promotes collaboration, education, innovation, and leadership to deliver meaningful sustainability outcomes across our community.

Below is a list of examples of projects supported under this program. This list is not exhaustive, and you are required to discuss your project with a Sponsorship and Grants Officer prior to submitting an application.

• Workshops and educational programs
• Networking and knowledgesharing events 
• Training and capacitybuilding sessions 
• Panel discussions and thought leadership forums 
• Creative, digital, or cultural projects 
• Resource development projects 
• Events, exhibitions, or festivals
• Campaigns and participation based challenges 
• Research or pilot projects 

The contribution of sponsorship provided by the City is between $2,000 and $20,000 (ex GST) for eligible projects, and up to 70% of the total project cost (with the remaining 30% to be provided by the applicant as a cash contribution).

Please note that in-kind contributions, such as volunteer hours, donated materials, or services, cannot be counted toward the applicant's required cash contribution. 

This grant operates as exhaustive funding, and the City reserves the right to close the program once the available budget has been expended.

All applications within the Sustainability Project Sponsorship program must meet the following eligibility criteria:

• be a legally constituted entity, or an individual or business with an Australian Business Number (ABN);
• have appropriate insurances where required, as outlined under the City's Activity Approvals or other relevant policies and procedures;
• have submitted the application prior to the project commencement date with sufficient time to enable consideration by the City;
• offer a project or initiative within the City's local government area or a project that will result in a direct impact on the City;
• demonstrate financial viability without the City's funding (an individual event or project may not be viable without the City's support, however the organisation must be); and
• not have received funding within the Sustainability Project Sponsorship 2026/27.
