Important Info:
1. You will need to have an organisation to hold the money for you. This might be your school, church, marae or youth group. If you don't have someone who can do this for you, don't worry, we can help you find someone.
2. There are a few things we can’t fund, including scholarships or sponsorships; retrospective costs i.e. we can’t pay you back for something you have already done; political parties or groups aligned with political parties.
Check out our Frequently Asked Questions for the full list or contact us with your idea, and we can let you know if it fits the criteria.
