Applications are considered on a case by case basis and decisions are usually made within 2 weeks of application submission. Our trust administrator will notify applicants of the outcome using the contact details provided in your application.

Who can apply for Funding Assistance

  • Primarily funds will be distributed to individuals or groups within the Wairoa District. However, where special circumstances can be demonstrated that show a strong benefit to Wairoa, the trust in its sole discretion may consider a distribution outside of the Wairoa District.
  • Applicants should be aged up to 24 years although special circumstances will be considered.
  • Priority will be given to applicants who, for the purpose of these grants, are considered to be ‘young achievers’. These are young people who are seeking funding support to ‘step-up’, beyond representing their district. Examples could include: a young person selected for a regional sports team; an orator selected to speak at a national contest; a dancer selected to compete/perform at an international event.
