Ineligible Applications
Please do not apply if your grant application request is for any of the following:
- Individual needs – such as salaries and wages. Their focus is on supporting as many people as possible within their communities.
- Administrative or operational costs.
- Overseas or other travel costs.
- Religious, political, or hobby causes or activities.
- Marketing/advertising (i.e. printing).
- The purpose for which the funds are sought doesn’t fit into the Foundation’s objectives.
Guidelines
- You need to be either a registered charity, school or have IRD Donee Status to receive a grant.
- Grant applications must be for a specific project, item, or initiative.
- Requests for the project, item or initiative must be scheduled to occur within six months of receiving the grant.
- Grants will not be given for items already purchased or initiatives/projects already held.
- If the grant is not used for the purpose for which it was applied, the funds MUST be returned so they can provide the grant to another group elsewhere.
- If you are a branch of an organisation or charity where another branch has been successful in achieving a grant from us in the past: this does not mean you automatically qualify for a grant; and each application will be considered independently based on funds available and circumstances at the time.
Note: Please attach a quote with your grant application which matches the dollar amount you are requesting. Unfortunately, they cannot accept applications without a quote.
