Harbour Sport Tu Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund for Youth in New Zealand

Deadline: 4-Oct-21

Harbour Sport is pleased to launch the Tu Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund to provide funding for programmes or projects delivering play, active recreation and sport experiences for tamariki and rangatahi (Young people). These may be new or already operating.

Projects or programmes engaging tamariki and rangatahi who are inactive, face major barriers (such as cost, travel, exclusion, low confidence) and would otherwise not be exposed to such activities will be prioritised for funding.

Children and young people in higher deprivation communities
Girls and young women (5-24); and
Disabled children and young people (5-18)
