SPONSORSHIP APPLICATION

Sponsorship Guidelines

We have established guidelines to assist those applying for sponsorship:

Ruralco is dedicated to supporting agriculture and the agricultural community, therefore any sponsorship requests must demonstrate how they support this aim.

Ruralco will sponsor local groups/organisations or events in relation to our farming community.
Ruralco will consider sponsorship requests that align with the co-operative values and brand.
All applicants must complete the sponsorship application.
Any sponsorship request $1,000 or more must be accompanied by a business plan and will be reviewed. Once you have completed the online form the Ruralco Marketing team will provide you with a template as a guide for your supporting business plan.
Ruralco is unable to sponsor individuals.
Ruralco does not provide sponsorship in the form of cash.

Process For Consideration

Once your sponsorship application is received, we will:

Send an acknowledgement email.
Assess the proposal against the sponsorship criteria to determine the fit, the benefits and resources required.
Proposals will be assessed once a month, therefore it is important to allow for as much lead time as you can when applying. All applications need to be submitted by the 25th of each month for consideration the following month.
Provide notification of the final decision at the earliest opportunity.
