Sponsorship / Donation Applications

Pope Print have always enjoyed a strong community interaction and try, where possible, to support the community through our sponsorship programme.

Pope Print regularly receives requests for sponsorship support or for a donation from groups, organisations and individuals from around our region.  Unfortunately, while most are valid and commendable opportunities, we are simply not in a position to be able to be involved with them all.
Therefore, to assist us to fairly judge these applications, we have established standard criteria which must be met before we can consider any form of support.

Sponsorship Criteria

When we consider new sponsorship activities, the projects or organisations seeking sponsorship should conform to all or some of the following criteria:

• An activity or profile which impacts on people living within our region(Canterbury, South Canterbury, South Island etc)
• A community based project or support opportunity which will benefit the wider community rather than individuals
• A wide, general appeal to as many sectors of the public as possible
• Direct appeal or relevance to our customers, market, products or services
• Sponsorships should portray innovation, quality and excellence in their particular area. They should be able to demonstrate leading-edge technical aspects 

A good example of Pope Print's support sponsorship is the Canterbury West Coast Air Rescue Trust

Sponsorship funding is generally provided from our marketing and advertising budget. Applicants must be aware that the amount of exposure given to the Pope Print brand through the proposed sponsorship should equal or exceed the amount of exposure obtained through traditional advertising options.

For example: If your sponsorship requirement is $1000, Pope Print would expect at least $1000 worth of reciprocal brand exposure in return.
