If you are a local not-for-profit, community group or charitable organisation, and you require funding, we may be able to help. 

 
 

We regularly advertise when applications open for our various grants. As part of the process, you will be asked to provide evidence of the positive effect your organisation has on the community.

 
 

Our Trustees will consider your application based on a range of pre-determined criteria, including availability of funds allocated to your particular cause.

 
 

If your application meets all of the criteria, it may be approved. Funds will be released as soon as possible, but no longer than three months from submitting the application.

Our 2023 major grant has closed. Thank you to all of you that applied to the Miller General Impact Fund and South Canterbury Health Endowment Fund.
