WHAT CAN YOU APPLY FOR?

Funds are available for any charitable, philanthropic or cultural purpose that benefits the local community - both large and small.

Funding is shared between the areas of community, which includes arts, culture, heritage and environment (30%), health (20%), sport (35%) and education (15%).

All grants must be used for goods and services within New Zealand to meet Inland Revenue requirements and we can generally only fund events or projects that will take place during the next six months. We cannot fund any retrospective activities or transactions already incurred e.g. deposits and purchases made prior to approval of the grant. No exceptions.
