To submit an EOI for funding for our Manaaki Tangata grant, please use the buttons at the bottom of this page. Please note that this round is invite-only. EOIs close 11:59pm 4 May 2025.
Read about our Manaaki Tangata focus on our website and the guide for funding to make sure you meet our eligibility criteria and your work is in the areas we are looking to fund.
We understand the value of your time, so our EOI only has a few sections. Please tell us about your organisation and its work, outline the project or initiative you are seeking funding for, describe how you intend to use the funding provided and what success looks like, and tell us how your objectives align with the focus areas of the BNZ Foundation. We are committed to ensuring equitable access to our funding program. We encourage applications from diverse groups and communities.
If you require help with completing this form or have any questions, please get in touch with our team on bnz_foundation@bnz.co.nz. We are here to help.
After the EOI process, shortlisted organisations will be invited to submit a detailed proposal through our Grant Application process (closes on 31 July 2025). The BNZ Foundation team will work alongside successful organisations to develop their proposals, with final grant decisions made by mid-September 2025.
We have a discrete focus on the marine or coastal environment. You can find out more about our Manaaki Taiao focus here.
Please get in touch with our team on bnz_foundation@bnz.co.nz if you have a project that might fit our criteria, or if you have any other questions.
