Supporting the clubs that support our communities
Surf Life Saving clubs are the heartbeat of communities across Australia. They keep our beaches safe, develop the next generation, and create a sense of belonging that goes far beyond the shoreline.
At Catfish, we’ve been proud to work alongside these clubs for over 25 years. This sponsorship fund is our way of giving back to the people and programs that make such a lasting impact.
What’s on offer
We’re committing $10,000 in sponsorship support for the 2026–2027 season, distributed across a number of deserving Surf Life Saving clubs.
How it works
Successful clubs will receive support equivalent to:
- 10% of their total order value during the 2026–2027 season
- Allocated from the total $10,000 sponsorship pool
- Distributed across multiple clubs based on application quality
- Applications close 30 August 2026
- Successful applicants will be notified by Monday 7 September 2026
What the sponsorship can be used for
This is a goods-in-kind sponsorship, designed to directly support your club’s needs. Funds can be used as:
- Credit on your Catfish account for uniforms (including state uniforms, pinkies, and more)
- Vouchers for Live and Breathe Active
- Product support for club fundraising initiatives
Please note: this is not a cash sponsorship.
Eligibility criteria
To apply, clubs must:
- Place an order of $2,000 or more with Catfish Custom during the 2026–2027 season
- Complete and submit the official application form
How we select recipients
This isn’t just about order size, it’s about impact.
We’re looking to support clubs that:
- Demonstrate a genuine need for funding to continue serving their community
- Are actively supporting young athletes, especially those who may need extra assistance
- Show a clear vision for how the support will make a difference
Applications will be assessed based on the quality, authenticity, and impact of the submission.
