Sponsorship & Opportunities

Farmer Group Sponsorship Program

The TAS Farm Innovation Hub’s Farmer Group Sponsorship is designed to support established farmer-led groups in delivering activities that build their capacity to manage climate and drought challenges. Farmer Groups (or delivery partners on behalf of groups) can apply for funding of $2,500-$5,000 per activity (to a maximum value of $15,000). 

The Hub recognises that farmer groups play an important role in our communities, supporting the learning, innovation and connection that help farmers to grow and adapt in changing environments.  

This sponsorship aims to enable well-established farmer groups to achieve greater impact and to deliver targeted activities that strengthen their resilience, build group capability, and provide practical value to members.   

The Hub encourages applications that address identified local and regional challenges by building a deeper understanding of drought and climate preparedness and supporting practical actions and practical actions and outcomes. 

Application process

We recognise that farming groups are often volunteer-led, and balancing day-to-day commitments with grant and sponsorship applications can be challenging.

To provide greater flexibility, sponsorship applications can be submitted at any time up until 2 February 2027.

Applications will be assessed across the three assessment rounds. 

Upon receiving an application, applicants will be allocated to the closest assessment round and will be notified of the outcome by the notification date associated with that round, as outlined in the ‘Key Dates’ section below.

Where a series of activities have been sponsored, there is flexibility to deliver across rounds - please get in touch with Lauren to discuss. 

All successful applications must be delivered no later than 1st May 2027.
