Our community sponsorship program facilitates mutually beneficial partnerships with eligible organisations in our community.

A sponsorship is an arrangement with Community Bank Wentworth & District to support an event, activity, individual or organisation through the provision of money, goods or services.

Our sponsorships typically provide a tangible benefit to both the recipient (which benefits through receiving material support) and the sponsor (which benefits via enhanced public image and access to a wider audience). The recipient is required to provide some service back to the sponsor, such as advertising or tickets.

Note: 

• Charitable donations are not sponsorships. Please talk to us about whether these may qualify via our grants program. 
• Direct advertising is not considered a sponsorship.

You must submit your sponsorship applications at least 6 – 8 weeks before the event or activity is scheduled to allow it to be effectively activated/leveraged. Applications may be considered outside of these timeframes please contact us to discuss cdc@wdcl.com.au.
