Sponsorship and Support
KDC sponsorship and financial assitance
As part of our mission to promote economic development and quality of life for our region, KDC is able to offer limited and targeted assistance to specific projects or proposals by Kimberley businesses and other organisations. Such assistance may include, for example:
- small grants for business case development and other project development costs;
- sponsorship of Kimberley events with an economic development, service delivery or quality of life focus;
- support for Kimberley participation in significant events outside the region that may result in economic or other benefits for the Kimberley;
- Letters of support for grant applications or similar proposals; and
- Project facilitation or advocacy with other government agencies.
* Please note support is not generally provided to individuals or State or Commonwealth agencies (including schools).
To seek support from the Commission, please contact Celeste Hunter, Regional Development Officer, on gpo@kdc.wa.gov.au to discuss your idea.
To receive support, you should be prepared to show how your project or idea will lead to greater economic, social or cultural benefit for the Kimberley community.
