How to apply for sponsorship

Thank you for your interest in potential St.George Bank sponsorship. St.George Bank’s sponsorship budget is committed to projects well in advance and we are currently reviewing sponsorship proposals that fall within our next financial year (1st October 2023 - 30th September 2024).

We will be accepting sponsorship requests for consideration between June – August each year for support in the following year.

When reviewing sponsorship requests, St.George applies the same rigorous assessment criteria to all proposals received. This is to ascertain whether the opportunity complements our marketing strategy.

As a general rule, St.George does not support activities where we are not granted exclusivity (i.e. as the only financial institution).

Note: If your request is of a charitable or philanthropic nature focusing on children, please direct your query to the St.George Foundation.  

Activities that St.George will not support include:

  • Political parties
  • Divisive social issues and events, e.g. beauty pageants
  • Denominational religionsOrganisations that are in the business of gambling, alcohol or drugs, e.g. betting agencies or manufacturers of alcoholic beverages.

  • A one-page executive summary
  • The defined target audience for your event
  • A detailed outline of project and/or activity plans

  • Performance evaluation techniques
  • Details and credentials of the sponsorship management team, including resumes
