Good to know

Very narrow: cardiology research in South Canterbury only. Applications open in November each year, and the page says 2025 has closed.

Applications open in November each year, subject to change; the 2025 round has closed and no later date is published.

Checklist

What Nova Charitable Trust says you need:

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.
