Sponsorship & Corporate Partnerships

Relationships make QRRRWN Successful

We are incredibly grateful for our existing sponsors, grants and partners that enable us to support rural, regional and remote women. Some sponsors and funders support key events, provide bursaries for members to attend our annual conference, fund our education program and enable us to run our flagship events of Conference and Ekka High Tea.

We operate in an ever changing environment are are always looking to further build our relationships with those who are interested in supporting rural, regional and remote women. There are many ways to support our work, including through donating directly.

We are fortunate to have maintained a long term relationship with Westpac who has sponsored QRRRWN for many years. We are also privileged to have received funding for our programs from a range of other sources including the Financial Planning Association, local sponsors where events are held and in 2019 and 2020 the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal has made it possible to bring to our members our Annual Conference and the Strong Women in Leadership Awards.

Future Strategy & Sustainability

QRRWN is run and managed by volunteers, with two part-time administrative and operational support staff. The 2020 Board has a Sponsorship Team led by Jess Goldie that is exploring and managing our sponsorship and corporate partnership program.

Our President, Tracey Martin is responsible for our Growth & Partnerships Portfolio.

The strategy for 2020 to support QRRRWN’s Future Strategy and ensure its sustainability includes:

Setting 4 Goals in early 2020

Releasing a Strategic Plan and 2020 Program

Establish an active grant writing and funding team which is led by Gail Russel

Establish our Sponsorship Team early in 2020 and address our key events, develop our communication strategy for sponsors and partners

Set our Strategic Planning Process for the remainder of 2020, which is led by Jess Goldie

Identify key partnerships with similar organisations to ensure that we meet member needs either directly or through collaborations. We are please to advise that we have collaborated with Zonta Club and Zonta E-Club for International Women’s Day 2020.

Develop a Sponsorship & Partnerships action plan and develop a range of touch points where people, corporations and other associations can become involved in the work of QRRRWN in a supportive way.

Sponsorship

QRRRWN’s programs and events that support rural, regional and remote women are only as strong as the financial support that is generously provided by our sponsors and the work of our volunteers. We are currently developing our sponsorship opportunities proposal and will also have a separate Sponsorship Program for our Flagship Events:

Ekka High Tea, Brisbane, August 2020

Annual Conference – Charleville, October 2020

Strong Women in Leadership Awards, Gala Dinner at Conference, October 2020
