WE SUPPORT THE THINGS THAT MAKE OUR CORNER OF THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE

What we fund

Read More

The Trust Waikato Strategic Plan sets five and ten-year goals towards achieving transformational change for people, families, communities and places where the need is greatest.

This includes funding initiatives that increase community vibrancy, quality of life, resilience, participation and inclusiveness in the areas of:

  • Arts and culture
  • Eduction
  • History
  • Social services
  • Sports and recreation
  • Youth
  • The environment

By preference grants will be made to organisations:

  1. that offer their facilities or services for the benefit or enjoyment of the public and contribute to community vibrancy and resilience,  
  2. that have a proven track record in their area of operation, though the Trust may support new organisations that have significant potential,
  3. that can show community support for their operation,
  4. applying for projects that are consistent with the Trust’s current grants focus (see section 4.0),
  5. that have strong volunteer involvement,
  6. that can show that their activity or project can make a real difference for the highest need communities in its region. 

The Past Grants list shows the groups and projects Trust Waikato has funded previously.

Here are some things Trust Waikato doesn’t fund.

See the areas we focus on below, for more information about the types of projects Trust Waikato supports.

Our Region

Read More

For us, it’s all about the Waikato. That’s where we’re based, where we come from, and where we focus our support.

Our funding area incorporates Thames–Coromandel, Hauraki, Matamata–Piako, Waipa, Waikato, South Waikato, Waitomo, Otorohanga and Ruapehu districts, as well as Hamilton city. It includes much of the lands of the Tainui waka, and the people of Waikato, Raukawa, Hauraki and Maniapoto iwi.

Who we fund

Read More

In general, we fund not-for-profit groups that operate mainly in our region, have a bank account, annual financial statements and are an incorporated society or registered charitable trust.

There is some flexibility around these requirements. We can, for example, fund groups that are not societies or trusts. We don’t typically fund individuals.

Talk to one of our Grants Advisors to find out whether your group or project may be eligible.

Areas of focus

Read More

Trust Waikato’s funding framework has been designed to allocate grants that will deliver on the Trust’s strategic priorities for impact:

Facilitate improved outcomes for the highest need communities in our region with a focus on:

  • enhancing the intergenerational wellbeing of children, young people and whanau / families,
  • increasing resilience and connectivity in rural/small communities,
  • increasing strengths-based initiatives that achieve positive outcomes for Māori.

Strengthen the community sector by:

  • supporting key community stakeholders to strategically increase their capacity, and capability
  • facilitating conversations about partnerships and investing in collaboration,
  • enabling change-maker organisations through investment in innovation.

We’re especially interested to hear from groups and projects working within these areas in Waikato communities.

These are described in more depth in our Grants Policy.

Types of Grant applications

Read More

We have four types of grant applications.

Community Response Grants
There are three general Community Response rounds per annum. These rounds close in February, June and September, with payments made to successful organisations generally 12 weeks later.

Significant Capital Projects Fund
Significant Capital Projects funding is available for grants towards capital projects with total costs of $1million or more.

Community Impact Grants
The Trust may invite applications for Community Impact Grants aimed at bringing about transformational change. Community Impact applications will be considered by the Board once they are assessed and a recommendation has been prepared by Trust staff.

Multi-Year Grants
The Trust may invite applications for Multi-Year Grant commitments in any of the three Community Response Grant rounds.

For more detail on each of these grants, please see the Grants Policy.

 

For single and multi-year donations you can apply in any one of the three rounds closing in February, June and September. Whilst paper application forms are still accepted for single year applications only, online applications are preferred.

For Significant Capital Projects funding you’ll need to apply in Round 2 (June), and applications must be completed online.

Single-year Applications

Single-year donation applications suit groups that want funding for lots of different projects, activities and services throughout the year.

So, for example, you might need funding for a new programme or service you plan to launch, as well as ongoing salaries, and volunteer and operational costs. You can make a single-year donation application to cover all of these expenses.

Most of our funding is single-year donations. Once we’ve received your application, we’ll look at what you’re asking for and decide how much funding we’ll provide.

Multi-year Applications

Trust Waikato will invite applications for multi-year donation commitments (two to three years) in any of the three general donation rounds.  Invited organisations must meet additional criteria outlined in our Grants Policy.

If you’ve already had a multi-year donation approved, you’ll need to complete a Multi-Year Donation Report online, and account at the end of each funding year.

Significant Capital Project's Fund Applications

If you want to apply for funding for a capital project that has total costs of $1million or more then you need to apply to our Significant Capital Projects Fund.

The fund is a dedicated part of our donations budget that we out aside each year for significant capital projects. Capital projects can include things like new buildings, alterations or renovations, or equipment.

We base our decisions about how much to donate towards significant capital projects on the total funding needed and the community benefit the project will deliver. We only provide a donation towards the total cost: we do not fund entire capital projects.

To apply for Significant Capital Projects funding you must apply in the Round 2 donations round. You’ll also have to provide an up-to-date feasibility study. 

You can find out more about whether a Significant Capital Projects Fund donation application is the right one for you in our Grants Policy. We also strongly recommend that you talk to one of our Donations Advisors before you apply.

Significant Capital Projects Fund donation applications must be made online.

For smaller capital projects (where the total costs are less than $1 million), you should make a single-year donation application to any of our three general donation rounds.

Things to attach

With your online grant application you’ll need to provide copies of your group’s:

  • Annual accounts
  • Chairperson's report
  • Bank statements
  • Bank deposit slip
  • Feasibility study, quote or business plan (if applicable).

Attachments can be a variety of file types such as PDF, word, excel or jpg files. You simply upload them and submit them with your application online.  

You can get more advice on how to develop an feasibility study here.

Completing an accountability report

If you have received a Trust Waikato grant, then you will need to provide an accountability report. The report is due either within 12 months of receiving a grant or when your group makes a subsequent application - whichever comes first.

There is a report available to fill out within the Grantee Portal.

Providing audited financial statements

If your group is large (with annual expenses of over $1million) or medium (expenses between $500,000 and $1million), and you apply for a Trust Waikato grant, then you will need to have your annual financial statements audited or reviewed, as appropriate. If your group is a registered charity, you’ll also need to comply with the provisions in the Charities Act 2005.

Groups receiving multi-year grants must also provide audited or reviewed financial statements each year.

See our Grants Policy for more information.
