Applying for sponsorship or asking for a charitable donation? 

We are strongly committed to playing a role in supporting our wider community, through sponsorship of events, individuals or organisations, sporting, educational, and other community initiatives.  All sponsorship requests and requests for charitable donations are managed by Brook Serene Boutique Hotels.  To help you with your application or request please review the following information.

SPONSORSHIP GUIDELINES

Brook Serene & Company Ltd will consider sponsorship of events (or organisations) that allow Brook Serene to:

• Communicate our Brand Values
• Showcase one or all of our properties
• Create a connection within the community
• Generate exposure
• Create future revenue opportunities

SPONSORSHIP CRITERIA

We have guidelines in place to determine the suitability of requests for sponsorship or charitable donations.  Brook Serene  will only consider requests that are consistent with our objectives, which are:

• A worthy cause that will have a lasting impact on the local community
• The audience the prize is promoted to is the correct demographic
• The package will have a high value associated with it*
• We reserve the right to request that a reserve be set at 50% of face value.
• Brook Serene (or the specific hotels') name or logo must appear on event banners, posters, approved printed material, displays, websites, direct marketing material, and social media platforms.
• Preference will be given to organisations or causes that our team are passionate about, and community groups who support our locally owned business.

*Please note we do not support silent auctions or raffles.
