How to Apply

The Northland Grassroots 2024 funding round opens on April 22nd and closes on June 2nd. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by July 5th.

The Northland Grassroots Fund grants around $90,000 each year to worthy causes and charities in Northland. Organisations can apply for a grant of up to $15,000.

Northland Community Foundation acts as a Local Donation Manager for The Tindall Foundation, a philanthropic family foundation working throughout Aotearoa to support whānau/families, hapori/community and te taiao/the environment.  We distribute donations on behalf of The Tindall Foundation to projects and initiatives that support The Tindall Foundation Family/Whānau Focus Area within Te Tai Tokerau Northland.  The funds provided by The Tindall Foundation are boosted by donations made to Northland Community Foundation’s Northland Grassroots Fund.
