BECOME AN AREA PATRON

We are asking Cork businesses to consider becoming An Area Patron of Cork Civic Trust and Civic Life. As An Area Patron of Cork Civic Trust and Civic Life, our programme will assist the Voluntary, Social, Civic and Not for Profit organisations that exist in your area and that are seeking support for their projects.

Civic Life is seeking to change forever the way Cork gives a voice to its 3,000 Voluntary, Social, Civic and Not for Profit organisations who do amazing work in our community. Civic Life will give them a voice, recognition and a platform to promote what they do so to the 540,000 Cork Citizens as well as to the Cork Diaspora, spread across 200 countries globally and whom Civic Life is interested in engaging with as part of its Civic Engagement Programme.

Becoming an Area Patron will enable Cork Civic Trust to work, on your behalf, with all of the Voluntary, Social, Civic and Not for Profit organisations who do amazing work in your community. We will manage the process of telling their stories to the local and global audience that supports such organisations and supports Cork.

Our key commitment to you is that all requests from the organisations in your area that come to us will be supported by the Civic Life model. Requests will be assessed and support will be by way of at least one of the following four key strategies:

  1. Guaranteed inclusion for the group/organisation/person as one of those Civic Organisations being supported by Civic Life with a full annual promotional programme for their activity.
  2. Extensive promotion of a particular project that is seeking financial support by way of editorial and social media promotion through the Civic Life model to our Cork and Global supporters.
  3. Referral to the Civic Support Fund for consideration of financial support.
  4. Referral back to you the Area Patron for further and direct consideration of support where the request may be deemed suitable for such consideration.
  5. Possible matching with a member of the Cork Diaspora who may be willing to support the project by way of a full donation in return for a dedicated programme that Cork Civic Trust will manage between the parties.

Depending on the nature of some requests and their relevance to your strategic support plan for your area or your company ethos, we will bring all relevant requests to you for additional consideration.
