JBS Dudding Trust
Charitable Trust 2024 Grant Round – Rural Hall Maintenance Only
IMPORTANT: Please read the information below to assist you in completing your application online. Applicants should carefully consider the criteria, which may be varied from time to time.
Please note some information has altered from the prior year grant round therefore all applicants are advised to read the entire information below.
The JBS Dudding Trust was established in 1963 by local farmer and investor John Beresford Swan Dudding and has been managed by Public Trust since its inception. The JBS Dudding Trust was established to benefit charitable organisations within New Zealand. The John Beresford Swan Dudding Trust is a Registered Charity under the Charities Act 2005, Registration No. CC27320.
John Dudding died in 1969 aged 74, six years after establishing the JBS Dudding Trust. Having farmed for most of his life, Mr Dudding was aware of the financial challenges caused by fluctuating farm prices. As a result, Mr Dudding knew the hardships that can be experienced by people living in rural areas, as well as the impacts felt in the wider community. Mr Dudding believed that in establishing a charitable trust, with the award of grants to deserving organisations, schools or Rural Halls, this would help cushion the Rangitikei people from the vagaries of the economy in rural New Zealand.
Applications are open 9am on 1 May 2024 and close at 5pm on 30 June 2024.
Who is eligible? Applications are open to Rural Hall Committees involved in the day-to-day management of a ‘Rural Hall’ within the Rangitikei Region. The funding is available for the purposes of providing general maintenance inside or outside the Rural Hall. Please check the JBS Dudding Funding Region & Eligibility Criteria
How much funding is available? The JBS Dudding Trust will be providing Rural Hall Grants for Maintenance between $2,000 and $20,000. Please ensure your funding request is within this range and is GST excl. Applications outside of this range will not be considered.
How are decisions made? The Trustee makes recommendations, and the Advisory Board Members provide advice on which applications to approve at the Annual Board Meeting. The Trustee’s decision is final. No further communications will be entered into. This includes providing applicants with the reason why they have been unsuccessful, justifying why an application was successful or reconsidering an application. A grant may be approved subject to certain conditions, in such circumstances the funds will normally be held by the Trustee until the conditions have been met.
It is important that all details on the application form are concise and easy to read. Decisions relating to grant applications are made on the information provided in the application and other general enquiries.
