We only accept applications from not-for-profit organisations. These include:
- An incorporated society or a registered Charitable Trust - check your registration at Societies & Trusts

- A non-legal (non-incorporated) entity which may apply for a grant of up to $1,000

- Organisations that are operating in our funding boundary which is the provincial district of Otago.
Our funding boundary
We support organisations who work in our five regions - North Otago, Central Otago, South Otago, Greater Dunedin and the Wānaka ward of the Queenstown Lakes district.
If your organisation is based outside our region we can only consider projects that can demonstrate they have a clear benefit to our region.
