The SkyCity Auckland Community Trust is pleased to launch the He Tupu grant program.
The vision for SkyCity Auckland Community Trust is: “Communities engaged and connected, equals thriving communities”.
They want their grants to support services and programmes that focus on “Te Piko o te māhuri, tērā te tupu o te rākau – The way in which the young sapling is nurtured, determines how the tree will grow”.
Focus Areas
- The focus of grants continues to be funding the outcomes of:
- The development and wellbeing of rangatahi
- Solutions and decisions to support the welling and development of rangatahi
Funding Priorities
- They will consider applications that support rangatahi in the following ways:
- Rangatahi led initiatives which benefit them directly, their wider whānau and/or community;
- Rangatahi wellbeing including mental wellbeing;
- Rangatahi leading their own solutions and influenced decision making;
- Supporting rangatahi while strengthening cultural diversity, social connection, a greater sense of belonging and inclusion;
- Initiatives that provide and/or support pastoral care for rangatahi to thrive;
- Initiatives that support whānau, cultural and community connections with rangatahi at the centre; and
- Initiatives that build knowledge, skills and behaviours that strengthen whānau wellbeing.
Funding Stream
- Each funding stream will support projects that innovate, deliver, collaborate and expand services or projects in the Trust’s catchment area.
- Applications will be focused on the outcomes and priorities of the Trust. Organisations that collaborate with other funding partners and partner organisations will be a priority for these grants. Trustees will be looking at projects that have the potential for future impact or scale.
