How to apply
Thank you for your interest in potential Bank of Melbourne sponsorship. Bank of Melbourne’s sponsorship budget is committed to projects well in advance and we are currently reviewing sponsorship proposals that fall within our next financial year (1st October 2023 - 30th September 2024).
We will be accepting sponsorship requests for consideration between June – August each year for support in the following year.
When reviewing partnership requests, Bank of Melbourne applies the same rigorous assessment criteria to all proposals received. This is to ascertain whether the opportunity complements our marketing strategy.

Activities that Bank of Melbourne will not support include:
- Political parties
- Divisive social issues and events, e.g. beauty pageants
- Denominational religions
- Organisations that are in the business of gambling, alcohol or drugs, e.g. betting agencies or manufacturers of alcoholic beverages.
