Good to know

You need to cover half the cost yourself, partly in-kind if needed. Check the council page for the 2027 dates.

Annual round; the 2026 round ran from 1 September to 13 October 2026, so it has closed.

Checklist

What Whanganui Climate Fund says you need:

• Match funding for 50% of the cost (in-kind counts in part)
• Project in the Whanganui district
• Report within one year of 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.
