Community Events Sponsorships are open

Published on 05 May 2025

The Community Event Sponsorship Program aims to assist individuals, community groups, organisations and not-for-profit groups to coordinate events that directly benefit the Unley community.

The City of Unley is committed to ensuring that we are known for our vibrant community spirit, quality lifestyle choices, diversity, business strength and innovative leadership. Attraction and facilitation of community events are strategic objectives for the City of Unley with activated places and cultural and artistic diversity included in our Community Plan - Towards 2050.

Council recognises that events create opportunity for community interaction, celebration and ensure our public spaces and main streets are alive and prosperous.

Applications for sponsorship will be considered for eligible festivals and events that can deliver against the assessment criteria. We want to support events that best align with the criteria and provide a return on investment by enhancing our annual events calendar, offer free or discounted quality activities to the community and display a high level of excellence in administration and delivery.

Applications are open from today, Monday 5 May, and close on Sunday 15 June.

All submissions are assessed in July and recommendations are presented to Council at its meeting on Monday 25 August, and all applications are notified about the outcome of their funding request in early September.
