Outgoing Sponsorship Application

Please provide a concise summary of your project or event. Your response should clearly explain the purpose, what will happen, and why it is important.

Begin by outlining the main goal of the project or event – what is it aiming to achieve? Describe the key activities involved and who will benefit. Highlight how your project contributes to the local community, including any cultural, social, or economic impacts.

Where possible, include expected outcomes or success indicators. Keep your response clear, focused, and aligned with the intent of the funding program.

1. Our equitable community is actively involved in and are responsible for developing innovative, local solutions that transcend our region for a safe and unified 6701.
2. Our economy fosters investment and productivity in industries befitting Carnarvon’s physical and natural environment and that grow our horizons.
3. Our sustainable livelihoods create a community that can flourish into the future.
4. Our holistic health care facilities provide services from the womb to the grave.
5. Our educational opportunities from early childhood to adulthood are tailored and relevant to the individual.
6. Our infrastructure, housing and amenities are high quality and accessible.
7. Our community acknowledges our history and celebrates our diverse cultures.
8. Our community is engaged, inclusive and supportive.

Please describe how your project or event will raise the profile of Carnarvon.

In your response, outline the exposure the event will generate such as media coverage, social media reach, or promotional partnerships. Highlight any economic benefits, including the number of people expected to visit Carnarvon, overnight stays, or local spending at businesses.

Be specific about the marketing and promotional activities planned and how they will showcase Carnarvon as a vibrant, welcoming, and event-friendly destination. Wherever possible, include anticipated audience numbers, marketing reach, or previous successes to demonstrate the impact.

Please list all organisations and businesses that will benefit from the funding, either directly or indirectly, through involvement in the delivery of your project.

For each organisation or business, briefly explain their role or how they will be supported through the project. This could include activities such as running a BBQ, delivering workshops, supplying materials, providing volunteers, or receiving capacity-building support.
