Building a partnership with Jersey Sport will help to make a real difference to the lives of many islanders. We work with companies to build mutually beneficial partnerships with a shared purpose at their core.
This could include increasing the public’s awareness of the importance of health and wellbeing in our physical and emotional state, and tackling the inequalities that face certain groups of islanders – including women and girls, lower socio-economic groups, and those with one or more disabilities. Building a safe, sustainable, inclusive sporting community is critical to our success.
In return, Jersey Sport can offer visibility and branding opportunities to its corporate partners, creating a mutually beneficial relationship that strengthens reputation and brand awareness.
Nominating us as your Charity of the Year presents a unique opportunity to unite your employees behind a meaningful cause and showcase your company’s dedication to positively impacting islanders by supporting local sport and physical activity.
Our committed team will collaborate with you to create a partnership that builds your brand reputation, generates positive PR and motivates your colleagues to become more active.
We have multiple sporting programmes and projects that may align with your purpose, or we can work with you to co-create solutions for a shared goal. We would love to work with you to inspire greater community involvement, encourage event participation, and help raise essential funds to support much-needed causes.
Sponsoring one of our key events, campaigns, programmes or services can extend the reach of your company’s brand. We can work with you to identify the right opportunity and shape a sponsorship package to suit your business.
The Jersey Sport Awards recognise and reward individuals, sporting bodies, schools and businesses who participate, coach or volunteer within sport, and those who enable active opportunities. Our annual Awards event provides a unique opportunity for businesses to celebrate our local sporting heroes, whilst supporting sport and physical activity within the island – positively enhancing and changing and lives within the local community.
Your support not only makes it possible for our awards event to happen, but it enables us to give the nominees and winners the recognition and ‘thank you’ they deserve.
Sponsorship also helps us to raise the profile of sport and physical activity in the island – which is critical to inspiring positive well-being for all, ensuring Jersey is a healthier, more productive and fairer society to live in. Over 90% of the sporting community comprises of volunteers, and through their passion and dedication, they support, motivate and create safe environments for individuals and teams to participate.
We have a variety of sponsorship opportunities available – ranging from award category sponsorship, to the event headline sponsorship itself.
Corporate grants from trusts or foundations are a fantastic and valuable funding source. Can you help us by facilitating a grant from your company’s foundation or charity?
As well as making donations, some local businesses help by donating gifts in kind. We would love to hear from you, whether it’s providing sports equipment and kit, auction and raffle prizes or free advertising and PR opportunities.
Many local businesses provide matched funding for their employees. This is a great way to encourage employees to fundraise on our behalf, with the benefit of getting more active!
Jersey businesses can easily set up a payroll giving scheme for Jersey Sport within their organisation. This means making donations directly from employees’ salaries. If the accumulated amount over the year is £50 or more, the donation will qualify as a lump sum donation.
Your payroll will still provide your gross income (the amount before the charity deduction) to the Tax Office, which is also the amount you must declare on your annual tax return. You should also enter the donation details and any other qualifying donations to Jersey Sport, a registered charity, on your tax return.
If you’re interested in any of the opportunities listed above, or if you would like to talk to someone about fundraising for Jersey Sport, please contact us at: SupportUs@jerseysport.je
Your support could help make a big difference to the lives of islanders! Thank you.
