Good to know

The Northland Fund lists the arts as a priority, but the Tindall Foundation money in the same round cannot go to arts. The 2026 round has closed; it opens early May each year.

One grant round each year, opening in early May; the 2026 round is closed and applicants are told in August.

Checklist

What Northland Community Foundation says you need:

• Be based in Te Tai Tokerau, or deliver a substantial portion of services in the region
• One grant application per organisation per round
• Complete an accountability report after funding

Common things funders ask for, worth having ready:

• What exactly is the money for, and when will you spend it?
• How much do you need, and do you have quotes under three months old?
• Who benefits, and how many people?
• Your legal name, registration number and bank account in the group's name.
• A committee or board decision approving the application (some funders want a signed resolution).
• Your latest financial statements or annual return.
• Other funders you have applied to for the same thing.
