NSWALC Sponsorship

Under section 106(7) of the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW) (ALRA) NSWALC has established a Sponsorship program to support an organisation’s individual program/event or of an ongoing activity.

The NSWALC Sponsorship program

NSWALC’s sponsorship of your event, program or activity is a commercial agreement and may provide financial or ‘in kind’ support. In kind support involves NSWALC providing non-financial support such as staff time, resources, facilities or equipment.

General Guidelines for Eligibility

Invited applications for sponsorship will be assessed under the following guidelines:

  • The sponsorship must reflect the NSWALC’s objectives, strategic plan and values.
  • The NSWALC will only recommend and implement activities that can be shown to fulfil three or more of the following objectives:
    • The sponsorship will enhance the reputation of the NSWALC state-wide, and /or nation wide;
    • The sponsorship will build, maintain or enhance brand awareness in the NSWALC’s key target markets e.g., Aboriginal communities, and amongst key stakeholders;
    • The sponsorship will reinforce NSWALC’s position as a peak Aboriginal organisation in New South Wales; and
    • The sponsorship will facilitate and further develop relations with the Aboriginal community and/or Aboriginal community organisations.
  • The immediate and/or future benefits and an estimated return to the NSWALC, whether financial and/or otherwise, will be determined in each sponsorship agreement.

The NSWALC will not approve sponsorships which are considered to fall under the following categories:

  • Political or religious bodies
  • Gambling, gaming, or betting events or venues
  • Organisations linked with the tobacco, drugs or alcohol industry
  • Sexual services or sex industry venues
  • Products or services that denigrate, exclude, or offend the Aboriginal community
  • Products or services not consistent with the NSWALC’s image, standing and presentation
  • Sponsorship of individuals
  • Any sponsorship which may be a conflict of interest for the NSWALC.
