Clubs are at the heart of every community, providing local groups and charities with much needed support. The Wests Entertainment Group believes that by responding to community needs and working in partnership, we can contribute towards making communities where we do business better places to live and work. The Wests Entertainment Group plays a major role in supporting your community.
Each year local charities, sporting groups, community groups and the like receive funding or in-kind support from your local clubs, Wests and Wests' Diggers. This funding is provided under Category 2 of ClubGRANTS, one of the largest grant programs in Australia.
Following an audit by Liquor & Gaming NSW on ClubGRANTS, a number of changes to the guidelines were made which has seen the introduction of new accountability requirements.
For funding to be eligible under ClubGRANTS, there must be no obligation to give anything in return for the funding. For example, if WEG sponsors a sporting group and they voluntarily promote WEG on social media, that’s allowed. However, if the sponsorship requires the sporting group to display the WEG logo on their jerseys in exchange for the funding, that would not be allowed.
As well if sponsorship is approved, you must also submit a Statutory Declaration confirming the funds were spent as represented in your request.
