Event sponsorship

Our event sponsorship programme

Our event sponsorship programme supports organisations that deliver events in line with the council's own objectives.

This page contains essential information about the new process, including the council's sponsorship objectives and assessment criteria. Organisations interested in applying for sponsorship need to demonstrate how their event helps to achieve these objectives.

Auckland City Council receives many requests for sponsorship. Therefore, the allocation of funds is extremely competitive. We will assess applications on the quality and completeness of the information submitted using the event sponsorship application form.
