What we fund

We want people to have equitable opportunities to learn throughout their lives as a pathway to reach their potential.

We want individuals, families and whānau to thrive so they can participate positively in the community.

We want people to feel connected to, supported by and involved in their community so that we can help reduce isolation and build resilient communities.

We want more people participating in active recreation, sport, cultural and heritage activities as a means of enhancing health and wellbeing. Reducing barriers to participation can help people lead fulfilling lives.

We want communities and organisations to be strong and environmentally sustainable so that they can better deliver social outcomes and reduce adverse environmental impacts for future generations.
