Gaming Grants
Great so your association or club is thinking of making a grants / funding application.
Grants are a valuable source of finance for activities, events and facilities.
While there is often money available through gaming trusts and charities, sport and recreation bodies and Government agencies, it is key to remember that clubs, associations and other groups also compete for that money.
In New Zealand, gaming machines have been permitted to operate since 1988. Their number and popularity have grown considerably during this time and there are now more than 20,000 such machines operating in this country. These are all owned and operated by trusts that are legally bound to direct funds to the community and more than $300 million per year is allocated to sporting, educational, health, and arts groups and other charities.
