Community Support Guidelines / Sponsorship

Sanitarium donates to a preferred list of charities and financially supports a selection of community projects. Each year Sanitarium receives thousands of worthwhile requests to support community projects, however we are unable to support them all. Below is a list of guidelines that Sanitarium uses to assess any request received.

All requests must be received in writing at Sanitarium six (6) weeks prior to your event date. Sanitarium endeavours to respond to all requests within 15 working days, upon their written arrival to the Sponsorships Department.

Criteria

There must be a clear fit with Sanitarium's mission of inspiring and resourcing the community to experience happy, healthy lives.

We support projects with a healthy, acitve community focus.

Sanitarium will consider sponsoring organisations or activities that have some or all of the following:

  • A nutritional education focus or benefit
  • A community focus
  • Lacking in support from other organisations
  • No conflict of interest with competitors

Sanitarium is owned and operated by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church - therefore we will not support events requesting commercial or promotional assistance during the hours of Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.

Support is usually provided by way of product donation rather than cash grants.

Sanitarium will not support the following activities:

  • School fairs, raffles, auctions, chocolate wheels or requests for Sanitarium product resale
  • Sponsorship of individuals
  • Projects outside of New Zealand
  • Activities associated with gambling
  • Any connection with alcohol or cigarettes
