In order to be considered, grant applications will be required to meet the charitable guidelines and criteria, and contribute to the strategic priorities for Te Mana o Ngāti Rangitihi Trust. WHAT GRANTS ARE AVAILABLE? The Charitable Trust has allocated funding for charitable purposes in four categories below.

KAUMĀTUA Grants aimed at maintaining or improving the health and well-being of our kaumātua. WHAT IF MY PROJECT FALLS OUTSIDE THESE CATEGORIES? The Charitable Trust may consider other applications which do not fall within these categories in exceptional circumstances, provided charitable criteria are met and they contribute to the strategic priorities for Te Mana o Ngāti Rangitihi Trust and the Charitable Trust. THE CHARITABLE TRUST DOES NOT FUND: Projects or services that do not meet charitable criteria Commercial and non-charitable organisations Projects where local, central or other agencies would be the natural source of funding.
