Goulburn-Murray Water contributes to our community in many ways.
If your community group, club or school has an activity or event that is related to rural water sustainability then we would be interested in hearing from you.
What does G-MW sponsor?
We will consider sponsorship of activities or events related to rural water and regional communities that can offer Goulburn-Murray Water a positive association from our involvement.
Goulburn-Murray Water may provide:
- Sponsorships – financial support
- In-kind support – including provision of G-MW water bottles, colouring books, water safety stickers and magnets
We assess each sponsorship application using the criteria set out below. Please complete the sponsorship application form so we can ensure all sponsorship requests are treated consistently and evaluated against the criteria.
Every year we receive many requests for sponsorship and unfortunately with a limited sponsorship budget we cannot assist with every request.
Does G-MW make donations?
If your group, club, school or organisation is seeking a financial donation with no benefit in return to Goulburn-Murray Water, your application may be forwarded to the organising committee of the Goulburn-Murray Water Charity Golf and Bowls Day. This annual event is held in May and all proceeds are donated back into communities within the Goulburn-Murray Water region. Goulburn-Murray Water employees run this event and encourage community groups and individuals to write with details of donations sought.
