The Application:

PLEASE NOTE: Individuals may only apply through EITHER Ngā Tini Whetu OR our Sponsorship Fund for a singular kaupapa, not through both funding pools. 

Individuals AND roopu may not apply for the same kaupapa through our Sponsorship Fund.

Once a sponsorship application has been approved for a roopu or singular kaupapa, individuals may not apply for Ngā Tini Whetu or Sponsorship funding for the same roopu or kaupapa, and vice versa (once an individual has been sponsored for an event participating in a particular roopu, that roopu may not be funded for the same kaupapa again).

An individual may only be the beneficiary of sponsorship funding once per 12 month period. This means if an individual receives sponsorship for themselves or a roopu they are participating in, any other roopu that individual participates in, may not receive sponsorship funding over the same 12 month period.

Please Note: Rangitāne o Manawatū Settlement Trust is unable to provide sponsorship for: Fundraisers, Reunions, Buildings and equipment, wages, Local & Regional school sporting events, School exchanges or trips, University and school fees and uniforms.
