TTF New

Applications for 2025 are now open until Friday 8th August, 5pm.


Please make sure you have read our Guidance Notes and checked your eligibility before applying. If you are unsure, or have any questions about your application, please contact Auckland Foundation.

 

Successful applications will need to clearly demonstrate they are delivering on the Grassroots Giving Programme's objectives, so please make sure you read the criteria carefully before applying.

Our goal is to make this process as simple and time-efficient as possible — the application should take no more than three hours to complete. You’re welcome to respond in bullet points if that’s easier. We know your time is valuable and that your focus is on the incredible mahi you’re already doing in your communities. This application is meant to be a straightforward way to share the work you do and the project you’re seeking support for.

You can save your progress, and come back to complete the form at any time, as long as you use the same computer/device.
