We’ve experienced a high demand for General Grants – particularly for ‘immediate community need’; and so are focusing our budget on General Granting at the moment.
Regardless of what you want funding for – the overall work your organisation does should meet at least one of our General Granting criteria:
Increase community self-determination
Meet immediate community need
Increase access and Inclusion for those who experience disadvantage and exclusion
Increase preservation and protection of natural spaces
In addition:
Applications must primarily benefit the Wellington region
Applicants must have a charitable purpose – this usually means you have either charitable or incorporated society status (if you do not yet have charitable status, or are unsure of your status – please call us to discuss)
You may apply for one LIFT grant and one General Grant in the same financial year.
