Community Partnership & Donations

Sponsorships and Donations

Throughout the year, Sevenoaks Shopping Centre shows its community support through our Community Partnership Program. We proudly contribute to a number of associations, events and scholarships plus our non-profit community kiosk gives organizations the opportunity to reach over 116,000 customers weekly.
 
Each year, we receive numerous requests for sponsorships, raffles, auctions, advertising or display space. Through our Community Partnership Program, we are able to effectively and fairly manage these requests to award money to worthwhile causes.
 
Due to the rising number of requests, Sevenoaks Shopping Centre implemented a standardized process for detailed information to help us make the best possible decision pertaining to your request.
 
Each properly completed submission is evaluated against Sevenoaks Shopping Centre’s criteria, total funds available and its overall compatibility to our objectives. 
 
Thanks you for considering Sevenoaks Shopping Centre as a potential supporter.
