Receiving a grant
Every year, thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’re able to provide funding for local organisations making a real difference across Nelson Tasman and Marlborough.
As we grow, we’re now running several smaller grant rounds throughout the year instead of one large round. This means more opportunities for groups to apply for funding that aligns with the causes our donors care most about.
On this page you’ll find everything you need to apply:
Grant Criteria – see what funding is available in each round.
Application Tips – practical advice to help strengthen your application.
Apply Now – once you’re ready, submit your application online.
We encourage you to check which grant rounds are currently open and apply to those that best fit your work. We look forward to learning more about your organisation and the impact you’re making in our communities.
