01
Network partner
Support the ongoing development of NZGBA and help create more consistent activity across the year.
Sponsorship
Help build the next stage of NZGBA
NZGBA has been built independently from the ground up. We are now looking to work with companies and organisations that see value in a stronger New Zealand community and business presence across the Greater Bay Area.
Built independently
We built the network first
Since NZGBA was formed, the costs of establishing the network, developing the website and materials, organising events and supporting community activity have been funded by the Founder of NZGBA.
We deliberately focused first on creating something useful and proving that there is a place for a grassroots New Zealand network in the Greater Bay Area.
As NZGBA grows, sponsorship can help us do more, reach more people and build programmes that would be difficult to sustain through funding from the Founder alone.
Ways to support
Partnerships can be simple and practical
We are interested in long-term partners as well as support for individual events, programmes or practical needs.
02
Event or programme partner
Support a community event, business programme, cultural showcase, professional session or delegation.
03
Venue and hospitality partner
Provide a suitable venue, food and beverage, transport, equipment or other practical event support.
04
In-kind and specialist support
Contribute printing, media, photography, design, professional expertise, technology or other useful resources.
Value on both sides
More than logo placement
A partnership should create genuine value for the sponsor and the network. Recognition is agreed according to the activity and level of support and may include:
- Acknowledgement on relevant event materials, event pages and the NZGBA website
- Appropriate brand visibility at supported activities
- Opportunities to contribute useful expertise, content or participation
- Connection with New Zealand-linked community and business participants across the GBA
Who we would like to work with
Partners who believe in the long-term value of the network
Potential partners include New Zealand companies, GBA businesses with a genuine New Zealand connection, professional service firms, education providers, venues, tourism organisations, food and beverage brands and other organisations aligned with the purpose of NZGBA.
The best fit is a partner that wants to help build something useful and lasting, while receiving thoughtful visibility with a relevant audience.
Sponsorship does not imply New Zealand Government endorsement or official status.
