Deadline: 30-Nov-2025
The Mercury Oamaru Community Fund offers local community organisations in Oamaru, New Zealand, the chance to access small-scale grants to support initiatives that improve community wellbeing and environmental care.
The fund comes from Mercury’s commitment to supporting the region where many of its staff live and operate, and to encouraging projects that embrace caring for people, place and the future.
This fund welcomes applications from community groups, charities and local not-for-profit organisations that can show how their project contributes to local care, guardianship of the environment and sustainable practices. Typical grants range from approximately $200 to $2,000, making this opportunity well-suited for smaller-scale, grassroots-led community activities looking for direct support.
To apply, organisations must be based within the Oamaru area, supply a clear project plan, and meet criteria ensuring the grant is used for community benefit and future-focused activities.
For local community-focused organisations looking to make a meaningful difference in the Oamaru area—whether through environmental restoration, community health, local arts or neighbourhood cohesion—this fund provides a timely and accessible resource to help turn small ideas into positive action.
