Here, there and everywhere

We believe in investing back into the communities we grew up in and supporting a range of rural organisations, events, and conferences.

You’ll find FMG here, there and everywhere, helping to support rural people and communities who roll up their sleeves to make things happen. Like at the Century Farms dinner in Lawrence, Little River Pumpkin Festival on the Banks Peninsula, and the Flemington Mud Run in the Central Hawkes Bay, or helping Growing Future Farmers to train school leavers who want to work on the land. It’s all about getting in behind rural New Zealand to keep moving ahead. Because at the end of the day, we’re here for the good of the country.

How to apply

What do we support?

Whether it's big or small, you're likely to see FMG out and about at rural events across the country.

From sponsoring school pet and group days, community brunches, and dog trials, to supporting industry field days, rural sports events, and local initiatives, we’re proud to back the people and communities who make Aotearoa New Zealand’s rural heart beat.

What we look for

At FMG, we carefully consider sponsorship opportunities that align with our commitment to being here for the good of the country.

To be considered, sponsorships need to:

  • reflect FMG’s brand values and vision
  • raise awareness of FMG among our key audiences
  • support rural or provincial communities
  • showcase our services and contribute to business growth
  • create meaningful engagement with clients, communities, and FMG employees
  • offer appropriate visibility or exclusivity within the insurance sector
  • demonstrate a commitment to responsible social, economic, and environmental practices - FMG is proud to be a certified B Corp, after all.

We are unable to sponsor:

  • political or religious organisations or events
  • activities where FMG employees or partners may have a conflict of interest
  • initiatives that pose a reputational risk
  • events that create environmental hazards
  • activities that compromise animal welfare
  • sponsorships for individuals
  • organisations, teams or events oustside New Zealand.

FMG Sponsorship Application

Please submit your sponsorship application within the following timeframes:

  • Regional community events or activities at least 8 weeks before the event or activity.
  • National sponsorships or larger events at least 6 months before the event or activity.

Please note: National sponsorship applications are reviewed twice a year, in February and August.

If your event is scheduled for early in the financial year (e.g. March or April), we recommend submitting your application in time for the August review. This ensures FMG has sufficient time to plan and support the event if sponsorship is approved.

All applications are subject to FMG’s sponsorship criteria.
