Proposals are now invited to Good in your Hood 2022 that are looking for local groups all around Aotearoa, helping people in need or the environment, to receive a share of $1 million.

Funding Information

• Every Z service station is giving away a total of $5,000 as part of Good in the Hood.
• $4,000 will be distributed amongst four neighbourhood groups or projects who successfully apply to be part of Good in the Hood
