Sport New Zealand Rural Travel Fund Funding round is now closed! This fund is supplied by Sport NZ and administered by the Rangitikei District Council. The Committee is made up of two Councillors and the Mayor. The fund was developed in response to concerns raised about the lack of participation in sport by young people living in rural communities. It is targeted at young people aged between 5 and 19 years, and is open to all rural sports clubs with eligible members who require subsidies to assist with transport expenses to local sporting competitions. An example is petrol vouchers for travel to local sporting events. There is one funding round per year, this will run from 1 March to 29 March 2018. Decisions will be made on 26 April at the Sport NZ Assessment Committee Meeting. Applicants will be advised shortly afterwards. Before beginning the application process we recommend you check that your group is eligible for funding: are you a sports group with youth from 5-19 years of age? do you need financial help to travel to compete in your regular sporting competitions? are you in the Rangitikei district? are you happy to provide accountability evidence? If you answered yes, then we may be able to help. Please note that this funding is only for travel to regular local events, not regional or national.
