Community Partnerships
Built by the rugby
community. Backing it.
We are the Naming Rights Partner of the Shute Shield and Finance Brokerage Partner of Sydney Rugby Union. This isn't a logo on a jersey - it's a genuine commitment to the clubs, players, and community that make Sydney rugby what it is.
This partnership is personal,
not just
commercial.
Blue Crane Capital was built by people who understand property finance - but several of our team have also lived and breathed rugby. We have played, coached, and given time to the club rugby system that has produced Wallabies, shaped communities, and given thousands of Sydney siders their most enduring friendships.
A partnership that goes beyond business
When the opportunity arose to become the Naming Rights Partner of the Shute Shield and the Finance Brokerage Partner of Sydney Rugby Union, we didn't see it as a marketing exercise. We saw it as a chance to give something meaningful back to a competition and a community that deserves strong partners.
We also sponsor Northern Suburbs RFC directly - and we've built a referral model that puts real money back into clubs, because we believe the clubs that build this competition should benefit when their community does business with us.

Community Finance Support That Works for Clubs, Members, and Partners
Many clubs want to support their members beyond match day, yet most partnership programmes create extra admin, unclear referral processes, or little value back to the organisation.
For members, finance can feel hard to compare. A home loan, investment loan, SMSF facility, or commercial property finance structure may involve multiple lenders, policies, documents, and time-sensitive decisions.
For clubs, the challenge is simple: how do you introduce a trusted finance partner without adding workload for volunteers?
Blue Crane Capital Community Partnerships solve this through a direct, transparent finance referral programme.
Each participating club or organisation receives a clear referral pathway. Members can enquire through a dedicated link. Blue Crane Capital handles the finance conversation. When eligible lending settles, value is returned to the referring club.
Our Community Partnership Model
Blue Crane Capital community partnerships are built around three priorities: professional finance support, simple member access, and genuine value returned to the club.
Clear referral pathways
Each partner receives a dedicated referral link that can be shared through newsletters, social media, websites, presentations, or member communications.
Finance support across key lending areas
Members can access help across residential lending, commercial property finance, construction and development finance, SMSF lending, refinancing, and private lending.
Value returned to the club
Eligible settled loans can return a portion of upfront commission to the referring club, creating a practical way for member activity to support the wider community.
No cost for clubs
The model is built to reduce admin pressure. Clubs can share the link, introduce the programme, and allow Blue Crane Capital to manage the enquiry process.
Rugby and Club Relationships
Blue Crane Capital has deep ties to the rugby community and works with organisations that value discipline, trust, teamwork, and long-term relationships.
The business is the Naming Rights Partner of the Shute Shield and Finance Brokerage Partner of Sydney Rugby Union. Blue Crane Capital also supports Northern Suburbs RFC directly.
This rugby club finance partnership model is more than a sponsorship. It gives clubs a practical way to support members seeking finance guidance, with a clear rebate structure that can return value to the club.
How Member Referrals Work
The Blue Crane Capital finance referral programme is simple for clubs and easy for members to use.
1. The club shares its referral link
Blue Crane Capital provides a dedicated link for the club or organisation. It can be shared through email, social media, member newsletters, websites, or direct introductions.
2. A member submits an enquiry
The member completes a short enquiry form with their contact details and finance category.
3. A Blue Crane Capital broker makes contact
A broker contacts the member to discuss their situation, goals, borrowing structure, lender options, and next steps.
4. Blue Crane Capital manages the finance process
The team works through lender policy, application preparation, document coordination, and progress updates.
5. The loan settles and the club receives value
When an eligible referred loan settles, the club receives the agreed rebate, with reporting provided to the relevant club contact.
Value Returned to the Community
A community partnership should create value beyond brand exposure.
Blue Crane Capital’s model allows clubs to benefit when members choose to work with the brokerage through the approved referral pathway.
The structure can help clubs fund:
- Player programmes
- Junior development
- Facilities and equipment
- Community events
- Volunteer support
- Club operations
For members, the benefit is access to a finance team that can assist across a wide range of property-backed lending requirements.
For clubs, the benefit is a referral pathway that can create ongoing financial support.
For Blue Crane Capital, the benefit is a relationship-led model built around trust, service, and long-term community connection.
