Eligibility and applicant details

* indicates a required field.

Confirmation of eligibility

This section of the application form is designed to help you, and us, understand if you are eligible for sponsorship.

Before proceeding, please confirm the following:

  • You have read and understood the Sponsorship Guidelines.
  • Your organisation is eligible to apply under the Sponsorship Guidelines. 
  • Your organisation is incorporated or is applying through an eligible auspice organisation.
  • Your organisation has no outstanding reporting, acquittal or contractual obligations relating to previous Department of Communities funding or sponsorships.
  • Your organisation holds appropriate insurance for the proposed activity.
  • The application is seeking sponsorship and not a grant, donation or service agreement.
  • The proposed activity will provide clear benefits to the Department of Communities in return for sponsorship.

To be considered for funding under the Sponsorship Program, your application must clearly demonstrate how it meets the assessment criteria set out in the 2026-27 Sponsorship Guidelines.

Notes for Unincorporated Groups or Associations

Important: Unincorporated groups cannot receive sponsorships funding directly.

If the organisation undertaking the project is unincorporated, the sponsorship must be applied for through an auspice that is a not-for-profit incorporated organisation.

The auspice organisation is considered the administering or applicant organisation and will take on administrative, legal, and financial responsibility for the sponsorship. This includes:

  • Accepting and adhering to all terms and conditions of the sponsorship.
  • Assuming responsibility for financial management of the sponsorship.
  • Ensuring the unincorporated group maintains financial records, and meets reporting requirements.
  • Submitting all required reports and documentation on behalf of the project.
  • Receiving and administering the sponsorship funds on behalf of the unincorporated group.

You will be required to upload a completed Auspice Letter using the template provided in the Organisation Information page of this application form.

I confirm that all statements above are true and correct. * Required

If you have selected 'No' or 'Unsure' to the above eligibility question, please contact the sponsorship team at sponsorships@communities.wa.gov.au to discuss your eligibility or alternatively you can withdraw your application.
