How to get funding:

This page has the steps on how and where to organise and apply for funding for a skydiving event in South Australia.

​

We are looking for more skydivers to show an interest in organising, to share the load and keep our sport alive!

​

Initial Steps

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

​

​

Ask for help from DZ Staff or the SASPC and SAPC Committee members at any time!

​

Tips

Small Events - Smaller groups and events, more often, can produce quality skills + we have small planes

Spacing Between Events - remember we have a small skydiving population in SA and most people are involved in multiple disciplines, for events to have best chance of success they should be spaced by time and discipline

Communication - maintain between organiser, coaches and the DZ in all aspects of the planning and throughout the event

Apply Early - committees take time to meet, discuss and ask any questions. This also gives you and the DZ time to organise

Applications and Post-event Reports - don't overdo it, be concise and to the point. Ask for help.

Participant Rego -  It is likely the council and club or host DZ will recommend you do this 

Plan B - have a backup date planned (weather) or activities/seminars planned for on the ground

​
