Read our sponsorship guidelines and requirements
Hydro Tasmania sponsors Tasmanian not-for-profit organisations and businesses with similar vision, values and objectives to our own. Sponsorship activities must have clear outcomes for both the recipients and for Hydro Tasmania, may also have specific commercial benefits, and must fit within our budget constraints.
We will consider sponsorship requests for activities that have a positive impact in our regions or offer broad, measurable benefits for Tasmania, such as:
- Skills, education and training programs in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) that can contribute to renewable energy industries or add value to STEM educational opportunities
- Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives addressing societal and financial barriers that break cycles of disadvantage and inequality
- Environment and natural resources projects that restore Tasmania’s natural areas, including water quality, biodiversity, erosion protection or decarbonisation
- Community events and activities that encourage community connection, assist people experiencing disadvantage and provide an economic and social boost to an area
- Sporting teams that have broad, measurable benefits for the Tasmanian community and align Hydro Tasmania with well-regarded brands at a state and national level.
We don't sponsor:
- individuals
- political or religious groups
- challenges (such as sporting challenges)
- interstate travel or tours
- activities that provide direct financial benefit to Hydro Tasmania employees
- multiple sponsorships for the same organisation in a single year
- events or activities that have or are able to source sufficient funding elsewhere
- environmental restoration projects that provide individual economic benefits.
When we support an organisation, we require that they:
- sign an agreement that specifies the benefits and deliverables of the sponsorship, including measurable social impacts and benefits
- display our brand and messaging in their marketing, signage, website etc. in accordance with our requirements
- provide us with a timeline of activities related to the event, specifying promotional opportunities and any actions required of us
- provide opportunities for our employees to participate
- report the benefits and deliverables of the sponsorship as agreed, in line with our corporate social responsibility reporting
- alert us of any conflict of interest or negative publicity that may have an impact on Hydro Tasmania
- strive at all times to uphold our vision and values.
Community grants
Each year, we offer grants to support not-for-profit projects that make a difference in Tasmanian communities. Applications usually open in February and close in March. Subscribe to The Spill to stay in the loop.
Volunteering
Our corporate volunteering program, supported by Volunteering Tasmania, allows our people to contribute their time, skills and knowledge to build stronger and more connected communities.
Each employee can access 2 days of paid volunteer leave and we generally have a staff volunteer participation rate of >30%. Each year opportunities for staff volunteering are found with various community organisations and not-for-profit groups such as The Smith Family, Guide Dogs Tasmania, the Cancer Council and Clean Up Australia Day.
