The Trust supports registered charitable organisations operating within the Greater Auckland region. Applicants must be registered on the Trust's online portal and demonstrate that their activities align with the Trust's charitable objectives.

Particular consideration is given to initiatives supporting health, children and young people, and older people.

Donations typically range from $3,000 to $10,000. The amount awarded is at the discretion of the Trustees and depends on the applications received and the funding available each year.

The Trust holds one donation round each year, with applications closing on 1 June. Applications received after this date will generally be held over until the following year, unless special circumstances apply.

Applications are considered by the Trustees at their annual meeting in July, with applicants notified of the outcome shortly afterwards.

Organisations must be registered on the Trust's online application portal and ensure their information is up to date.

As part of registration, organisations are required to provide:

• Details of their organisation and governing structure
• A copy of their Trust Deed or other governing document
• Their registered charity number (CC number)
• Their most recent annual financial statements 

Please ensure these documents are current before submitting an application.

Yes. Organisations that have previously received a donation from the Trust are welcome to apply again.

However, a new application must be submitted each year, and previous funding does not guarantee future support. All applications are considered alongside other requests received during the annual funding round.

Applications are reviewed by the Trustees at their annual meeting in July. All applicants are notified of the outcome following this meeting, and donations to successful organisations are generally distributed by mid-August.
