The Sports and Cultural Representatives Fund provides assistance to Wellington residents who have been selected to represent New Zealand overseas.
Value
$15,000 total per annum. Individual grants are for $200. Applications are accepted at any time, subject to availability of funds. Retrospective applications will not be accepted.
Note: Grants are normally limited to five per team, or in some cases five per event. This is because funding is limited, and the scheme aims to assist a wide range of sporting and cultural disciplines.
Purpose
This fund is intended to increase the profile of Wellington and Wellingtonians overseas.
Criteria
Applicants must:
- reside in the Wellington rate paying area
- have gone through a national selection process and been chosen to represent New Zealand overseas in a sporting or cultural activity.
Applications
Apply in writing, providing all of the following:
- a covering letter outlining what you hope to achieve
- a copy of your letter of selection, showing the date and destination of your overseas trip
- evidence of residency within the Wellington rate paying area - for example a copy of a bank statement, a power bill or phone bill
- a daytime contact phone number.
