Deadline: 1-Sep-22
The Auckland Foundation is inviting applications from registered charities and incorporated societies, and prioritises small organisations with high voluntary content, rather than larger externally-funded service providers.
Purpose
- Funds will be granted to projects and programmes that clearly meet the purpose(s) of:
- Addressing social disadvantage;
- Promoting general health and wellbeing; and/or
- Strengthening community networks.
Funding Information
Grant requests of up to $10,000 will be considered.
Eligible Expenditure
- Applications will be considered for the following grant requests:
- Programme costs, including salaries/wages directly applicable to programme delivery
- Operational costs please note that if you are applying for salaries or wages, this must relate to activity that the employee(s) is delivering in the North Shore region only.

- If your organisation works across Auckland, a demonstrable 50% or more of your service delivery must be on the North Shore for you to be eligible to apply.
- Due to funding demand, they are unable to applications from national charitable organisations or organisations that delivery services nationwide.
Exclusions

- Projects outside the North Shore region
- Loan & endowment funds
