Eligibility and Criteria
Am I eligible to apply?

Do you have funding in our area?
In general, funds will be distributed in the area in which they were generated. This is typically defined by territorial local authority (TLA) boundaries or in Auckland City by Wards. The Directors may however at their discretion, apply and distribute funds from one TLA/Ward to another, or toward a National project.
