Who can apply?

The following registered organisations: charitable trust, incorporated society, marae, statutory body, branch of an organisation registered under an Act of Parliament, registered under relevant legislation or a company with a charitable status. If you are an unregistered or new group, you may be able to submit a request with the support of an umbrella organisation.

Applicants that are not registered as a charitable organisation: including Limited Liability Companies that do not have charitable status must clearly articulate the charitable purpose of the initiative for which funding is sought and delineate between for-profit and not-for-profit activity.

If your project has strong potential to generate significant revenue over and above that required to remunerate practitioners fairly and cover project costs for the period of the project, it is unlikely to be a strong fit with Foundation North’s status as a Community Trust and as such it will be ineligible.
