What sponsorship funding supports
Our sponsorship program supports one-off events and activities that contribute to reform in:
- mental health

A sponsorship involves an exchange of benefits between us and the sponsored organisation. It is different from grant funding.
We may sponsor:
- conferences and symposiums
- workshops
- exhibitions
- community events
- other events that support mental health and wellbeing.
Funding available
We provide up to $10,000 (excluding GST), depending on available funding.
What sponsorship funding cannot be used for
Sponsorship funding cannot be used for:
- events or conferences outside Queensland
- internal events or conferences for an organisation's employees only
- activities involving relationships with tobacco, alcohol or gambling
- ongoing programs or service delivery
- staffing costs
- day-to-day operating costs
- activities that are better suited to a grant or procurement process.
