Can we help? Victoria Park Sponsorship Policy and Guidelines New World Victoria Park is a locally owned and operated business that is proud to be part of the local community. As part of the community, New World Victoria Park recognises that it has the ability to help local organisations and groups achieve their objectives and goals by assisting with sponsorship/ community support. We are keen to support activity that benefits our business and creates long term customer relationships. As part of the New World Group we contribute to national sponsorships and, where possible, give support to the grass roots level of these organisations within our community. Accountability & Responsibility The overall and final responsibility for evaluating sponsorship opportunities rests with the owner and two senior managers. Initial assessment of opportunities will be managed by a team of three senior staff who will make recommendations to the owner and the two senior managers. Administration of the sponsorship process will be the responsibility of the administration manager. Guidelines General • Our annual budget for local community sponsorship will be determined by New World Victoria Park. We prefer to support a large number of community groups and organisations and therefore limits apply for any sponsorship. • All applications for sponsorship/support must be made in writing via our website and a completed Sponsorship Request Form, obtained from the New World Victoria Park website: www.newworld.co.nz/victoriapark, is the only form of application we shall accept. Groups that we consider our target audience • We primarily focus on supporting community-wide events that reach and support many people. • We will consider proposals from all local community groups and organisations. Our preference is to support sports/club organisations, schools, kindergartens, community improvement groups (eg. environmental) and charitable organisations who are not for profit. • What constitutes ‘local’ will be at the discretion of New World Victoria Park, but generally means the immediate vicinity in which our business operates. • Preference may also be given to grass roots groups of organisations where New World has a national sponsorship agreement in place. • We prefer to spread our support of the community as widely as we can, and to assist groups through fundraising rather than simply contributing funds. • We welcome applications from community groups; however, we generally don’t support individuals or families, class trips or individual sports teams. We do not support political organisations, research funding religious organisations or commercial entities. • We welcome store visits for educational purposes for groups of young children. Refreshments may be provided on request.
