Applicants should carefully consider the criteria which may be varied from time to time.
Who is eligible? Applications are open to organisations (registered with Charities Services or an incorporated society) that are based in or supporting people within the greater Christchurch area.
The area - For clarity it was recorded as including the local authority areas presently known as Christchurch City, the Waimakariri District and the Hurunui District but not the Selwyn District or Banks Peninsula. Note that Banks Peninsular District was amalgamated into Christchurch Council in March 2006; however it is currently described as the “Banks Peninsular Ward” and should be excluded as a qualifying area for grants.
Individuals, sports organisations and service clubs are not eligible to apply to the Trust and the Trust does not fund overseas projects.
How much funding is available? The Trust will be providing grants for general charitable purposes. The minimum you can apply for is $3,000 and the maximum you can apply for is $10,000.
How are decisions made? All grant applications are considered by the Trustee. 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.
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. The decision is final and no further discussion will be entertained.
