How To Apply For Sponsorship
From The Trust
1. The Trust is prepared to consider
sponsoring events that will spread awareness of the Trust
amongst potential beneficiaries of the Trust.
2. Applications should be addressed
to “The Chairman, Connellan Airways Trust”, and
should include the contact details (including postal address
for the applicant). The application should briefly state the
nature of the project for which funding is requested, a broad
breakdown of the estimated costs, what other sources of funding
are available (including the amount to be contributed by the
applicant) and how much is being requested from the Trust.
3. Applications should also detail
how the sponsorship will be acknowledged publicly, both on
printed material associated with the event and through any
media publicity given to the event.
4. Sufficient information needs
to be provided to enable the Directors to assess the worth
of the application. Although there is no means test applied
to applications, preference will be given to those exhibiting
the greatest need.
5. Applicants should be aware
that under the terms of the Trust Deed, grants can only be
made to children and adults who reside on stations or in small
settlements in the remote areas of outback Australia, or to
people living in the larger outback centres of Australia who
provide assistance to such remote area residents. Applications
should provide relevant information indicating how the event
will deliver benefit.
6. As the Trust is not able to
make retrospective grants, applications must be submitted
well in advance. The Trust normally meets quarterly, so applications
need to be received by the Executive Officer by the middle
of the months of February, May, August and November. However,
applicants are advised to confirm the closing date well in
advance of each meeting. Email submissions are acceptable.
7. The Trust generally will not
duplicate the activities of other bodies, but may consider
supplementing other sources of funding.
8. All applicants are encouraged
to contact the Executive Officer of the Trust for assistance
and advice in the preparation of applications.
