Application form

All requests for sponsorship must complete the FOOTT Cares Community Sponsorship Program application form.

Please complete and submit this form prior to the application deadline date as late entries will not be considered.

While we recognise that all sponsorship requests have merit, the reality is we can’t sponsor everyone. Applications that have a positive impact upon the communities in which we operate and align with our company values are more likely to be our focus. You will receive a response advising whether or not your application has been successful via email 30 days after the program close date.
