Do you have a project idea that will help to get more kiwis enjoying the work of NZ writers? The Mātātuhi Foundation got $5k-$20K seed funding grants up for grabs.
The Foundation’s kaupapa is to support New Zealand writers, but the inclusion of international writers alongside will not necessarily exclude the project from support.
Funding Information
Each year, the Foundation aims to distribute a discreet number of project grants ranging between $5,000 and $20,000.
Funding Criteria
- The Foundation will grant funds for projects that:
- Relate to New Zealand literature (fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry)
- Are new initiatives or business expansion initiatives
- Have clearly identified, achievable and measurable outcomes
Exclusions
- The Foundation will generally NOT fund:
- The creation, publication, or promotion of individual books or anthologies
- Projects which relate to screenwriting (for plays, films or TV) or are performance-based in nature
- Business-as-usual activities or costs such as ongoing operational or staff overheads
- Ancillary project costs, including catering expenses or international travel
- Projects that can access full funding elsewhere
- Projects connected to the annual Auckland Writers Festival
