Sponsorships
Unity Mining Sponsorship Fund
The Unity Mining Sponsorship Program is aimed at providing funding for projects that deliver tangible community benefits and enhance the reputation of our Company. Sponsorships may include financial and/or in-kind support such as the contribution or transfer of skills, expertise and knowledge.
We would like to receive your proposal if you have a project that will:
- Benefit communities, particularly communities close to our mining activities.
- Be a not-for-profit project.
- Have the ability to become self-sustaining.
- Include input from local volunteer groups.
- Enhance Unity Mining’s reputation amongst our stakeholders and community.
- Be consistent with our corporate identity and values.

- Projects benefiting an individual.
- Proposals traditionally funded by government.
- Political activities.
