PROGRAM · RESPONSIBLE SPONSOR

Be the best sponsor your events could have

Council is often an event’s biggest backer. Responsible Sponsor helps council sponsor with purpose: clear conditions, fair and transparent benefits, organisers equipped to deliver, and reporting that shows the difference.

WHY IT MATTERS

Sponsorship is a lever. Most councils use only part of it.

Council’s sponsorship can do far more than keep an event running. Set up well, it steers events towards council’s goals, builds organiser capability, and returns evidence council can report to councillors and the community.

It also has to stand up to scrutiny: how events are chosen, what council asks for in return, and how benefits such as tickets and hospitality are handled.

THE PROGRAM

Five parts of responsible sponsorship

1

Policy and conditions

What council expects in return for its support, aligned with its community grants policy and corporate plan.

2

Transparent benefits

Tickets, hospitality and recognition handled through clear rules and registers, and put to work for council’s goals.

3

Organisers equipped

Conditions become capability: organisers receive the Sponsorship and Impact reporting packs to deliver what council asks.

4

Reporting that counts

Organiser reports that line up with the four-pillar scorecard, so every sponsored event is measured the same way.

5

Recognition and leaderboards

Recognise the events making the most progress, and compare councils on a like-for-like basis.
