Who We’ve Helped
We are proud to have supported a wide range of projects and groups who work with tamariki (children), rangatahi (young people) and whānau (families) across Te Tai Tokerau Northland, through our Northland Grassroots Fund in 2023.
Every year the Northland Grassroots Fund is made available to charities and organisations working with the local community to provide services and support all over Northland.
In July 2023 our Grants Committee struggled to narrow down from 47 applications to the 10 on the map below but wanted to ensure each group was given enough to do their mahi. This funding went towards operational costs, salaries project costs and equipment.
