Sport Otago

Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund

Sport Otago manages the Sport New Zealand Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa fund for the Otago region. The fund exists to activate our tamariki/children and rangatahi/teens through sport, active recreation and play. It has a strong emphasis on understanding the needs of our youth and delivering what they want to do to be active. Sport New Zealand is specifically targeting Māori, Pasifika, and children with disabilities, but projects to activate all inactive and under-active youth can be considered.

Please read these documents first:

Funding Rounds

For 2023/24 the funding rounds for Otago will be:

July 2023. Projects will be considered for up to $60,000.00 . Closes 31 July.
September 2023. Projects will be considered for up to $10,000.00. Closes 30 September.
November 2023. Projects will be considered for up to $60,000.00. Closes 30 November.
March 2024. Projects will be considered for up to $10,000.00. Closes 31 March.

Please note it is likely to take 6-8 weeks after the closing of the round before you will receive notification of a result, this may be longer due to our shut down period over December and January. Sport New Zealand have specific requirements regarding Māori and community representation on the assessment panel which need to be met before grants can be made. If we are able to process the grants quicker we will certainly do so.

Fast Fund

Applications for up to $3,000.00 will always be open and we will work to process these smaller grants as quickly as possible. This funding is available to enable smaller scale projects to gain funding support with a streamlined application process.

Applications can be submitted at any time and there is no closing date. Please note that there is a minimum of two weeks notice for Fast Funds.

Application Process

Once you have read the community guidelines, please either complete an expression of interest or call us for a discussion about your project. We will then provide you with feedback and discuss the next steps.

If you are applying for the Fast Fund, please complete the Fast Fund application form. If you are applying for the $10,000.00 funding round or the $60,000.00 funding round, please complete the original application form. Please include a detailed budget with your application as well as any supporting documents.

Please make sure your figures are excluding GST.
