About the Grant

The Sports and Cultural Representatives Fund provides assistance to Wellington residents who have been selected to represent New Zealand overseas.

Value

Individual grants are for $200. Applications are accepted at any time (prior to 1 July 2012), 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.
