The Funding Directory is an invaluable resource for all not for profit groups or organisations involved in community, social services, sports, arts, environment, education, or health support services.
The Directory covers all seven council areas within the Auckland region including separate listings for Auckland, Manukau, Papakura, Franklin, Waitakere, North Shore and Rodney districts. It contains information of fund providers unique to each area, including local council community funding and all the sites housing gaming machines.
This is followed by an alphabetical listing of over 80 other regional and nation-wide funders. All listings have been coded to show what type of organisation or activities are funded, how to apply and relevant closing dates.
