Requesting Sponsorship
Thank you for your interest in a potential BankSA sponsorship. BankSA’s sponsorship budget is committed to projects well in advance and we will be accepting sponsorship requests for consideration between June – August each year for support in the following financial year (1 October 2027 – 30 September 2028).
Sponsorship proposals can be submitted via the Sponsorship Requests inbox during this period.
When reviewing sponsorship requests, BankSA 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, BankSA does not support activities where we are not granted exclusivity (i.e. as the only financial institution).
Activities that BankSA will not support include:
- Political parties
- Divisive social issues and events, e.g. beauty pageants
- Denominational religions
- Organisations that are in the business of gambling, alcohol or drugs, e.g. betting agencies or manufacturers of alcoholic beverages.
When submitting a request for sponsorship, please provide the following details as a minimum:
- A one-page executive summary
- The defined target audience for your event
- A detailed outline of project and/or activity plans
- Start and finish dates
- Implementation timeframes
- Location and venue lists
- Performance evaluation techniques
- Details and credentials of the sponsorship management team, including resumes
- Strategies to launch, publicise and promote the sponsorship
- Cost of sponsorship
Other things you could consider including, include:
- What is being offered to BankSA?
- Will BankSA be included in all advertising and promotion of the event?
- Ticket allocation (if applicable)
- Opportunity to present awards (if applicable)
- Opportunities to benefit our customers
- Business opportunities
