Community support

To ensure a fair and streamlined process, please note due to the large volume of requests received on a regular basis throughout the year, we have implemented an updated application procedure.

If you have any queries regarding the application process, please email [email protected]

• Sponsorship is available for organisations or community groups whose initiatives will directly benefit and significantly impact the North Stradbroke Island and Southern Moreton Bay Islands communities and/or environment.
• Individual or personal requests will not be considered.
• Sponsorship may include in-kind travel support, travel discounts or prize vouchers to further enhance the benefits to the chosen recipients. Please specify your needs and how such support would contribute to your project's success in your application.

All applications must be submitted at least 14 business days prior to the event.

Unfortunately, we can only consider applications received during the specified application period. Requests submitted outside of this timeframe will not be processed.

A sponsorship application should include the following components:

• A clear and concise description of your organisation or community group, including its mission and goals.
• A detailed project proposal outlining how the sponsorship will be utilised, specifying whether it is in-kind travel support, prize vouchers, or other forms of assistance.
• A breakdown of the intended impact and benefits to the North Stradbroke Island and Southern Moreton Bay Islands communities and/or environment.
• Information on the expected outcomes and how success will be measured.
• A budget or cost estimate for the proposed project or initiative.
• Any additional supporting documents that can strengthen your application, such as letters of recommendation or past achievements related to community and environmental improvement.

• Any travel voucher that is provided is given in good faith by SeaLink and will have travel conditions attached to it. If the voucher is being used as a prize or auction item, these conditions must be made clear to the prospective purchaser or prize winner.
• Sponsored travel must only be used for the purpose stated in your application.
• SeaLink reserves the right to request evidence to substantiate the validity of any sponsorship redeemed.
• Travel must be redeemed during the specified travel period. Any unused travel will not be carried over to the next year.

All applications shall be reviewed as per our sponsorship criteria and a response will be provided to the applicant within 14 working days. Requests to expedite this process cannot be granted.
