Our Sponsorships

Apply for Sponsorship

Whether you’re a local organisation based in the West or planning a community event here, we welcome sponsorship applications that deliver significant local impact.

We have a limited sponsorship budget available for the financial year 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, and we prioritise opportunities that:

  • Are large-scale, high-impact, and open to the wider public
  • Support strong community participation across West Auckland
  • Align with our values and strategic focus

Due to the high number of sports, recreation, and arts clubs in our region, we are unable to sponsor individual clubs or small-scale, private functions (such as awards dinners or fundraisers with limited attendance). Our focus is on events and initiatives that reach broad audiences and bring shared benefit to our community. Please refer to our grants, Your West Support Fund and Your West Innovation Fund, or our Supporters Club.

Now live! Apply for Sponsorships through The Trusts Fluxx Portal.
