Equity Funding

Emails will be going out soon to centres who received Equity Funding in the last financial year with a link to an online survey that asks you to report on what the funding was spent on and why it was spent that way. Please keep an eye out for this and complete it as soon as possible to ensure that we can report to the Ministry of Education in a timely manner.

Funding Directories

Funding Directories are now available for all regions across the country – Northland; Auckland; Waikato; Bay of Plenty; Taranaki; Gisborne; Hawke’s Bay; Manawatū/Wanganui; Wellington; Marlborough; Tasman; West Coast; Canterbury; Otago; Southland.

Email [email protected] for your copy.

While every effort has been made to ensure information given is correct at the time of publication, funding availability and other details may change frequently.

Discount

Paku NZ offer 25% off their agricultural tools (Māra kete) if you order two or more at the same time. Or order one of their Educational kete for a 20% discount. They can also send an invoice to your centre so no-one has to use their credit card and get reimbursed.

Paku is a New Zealand design studio dedicated to creating products uniquely of Aotearoa. They do this by combining mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) with the latest technologies to reimagine the objects around us in a bicultural way. Their first products are Paku Toki and Paku Timo, a reimagining of the traditional agricultural tools used in New Zealand.

Registered Charities

While the Trust Deed has now been approved, centres still need to maintain their charity registration until the new operating model is in place. However, please check the wording of the Structure and Purpose section of your charity registration to ensure it now mentions the Trust Deed and not the Constitution.
