About Us
The purpose of the Trust, which was established in 1988, is to distribute funds for charitable, cultural, philanthropic and recreational benefits in our four regions (Canterbury, Nelson, Marlborough and the Chatham Islands) - all of which benefit our quality of life. Our donations in turn, assist thousands of people working in numerous voluntary organisations, to create their own social and cultural dividends thereby rewarding their communities.
How often can I apply?
Organisations may only submit one application per year under their designated sector.All sub groups within an organisation or association should consolidate their request into one application. While there may be several projects requiring funding, they can all be put on one application form listed in priority order (e.g. Project A, B, C etc).
