Who is eligible? Expression of Interest Applications are open to organisations (registered with Charities Services) operating within the Foundation’s Funding Region - the Greater Auckland Region (from the northern limit of the Bombay Hills to the southern limit of the township of Warkworth).

What does the Foundation Fund? The Foundation provides funding for specific projects or initiatives which: (one or more categories)

  • Promote or deliver health related activities
  • Improve population health outcomes
  • Improve through education or other services the wellbeing of greater Auckland communities
  • Reduce health inequalities and alleviate poverty or deprivation

Successful applicants must spend the grant in full within 12 months of receiving it and will need to provide 6-monthy and 12-monthly Accountability Reports.

How are decisions made? The ProCare Charitable Foundation Board and the Trustee consider all grant Expression of Interest Applications after the closure date. It is important that all details on the Expression of Interest application form are concise and easy to read. Decisions relating to whether an organisation proceeds to Stage 2 of the grant round are made on the information provided in the Expression of Interest Application and other general enquiries.

The ProCare Charitable Foundation Board and the Trustee may approve a grant subject to certain conditions. In such circumstances, the funds will normally be held by the Trustee until the conditions have been met. In this respect the decision is final, and no further discussion will be entertained.
