Apply for a Grant with Sunrise
28 May 2022 - The Sunrise FoundationCharities and community organisations with a charitable purpose in Gisborne-Tairāwhiti can apply for grants from the Sunrise General Fund from 1 June 2022 until 19 July 2022.
Applications are invited once a year and assessed by the Sunrise Grants Committee which determines where the need in our community is greatest.
Glenda Stokes, executive officer says “Granting is our core business and what we love doing. It’s tough out there with so much competition for fundraising and sponsorship so we like being able to help ease a bit of that pressure.”
Since launching in 2014 we have awarded grants with a total value of $752,000 to worthy causes across arts, education, environment, health, social services, and sports in Gisborne-Tairāwhiti.
Among the grateful recipients last year were Gisborne Stroke Support Group who put their $1370 grant towards rehabilitation exercise resources and first aid training for volunteers, and Gisborne Boardriders Club who put their $2000 grant towards funding a coordinator for Women’s surf events.
All donations and legacies gifted to the General Fund stay local, meaning all money raised here stays here. The money is invested in perpetuity (forever) to protect the capital and grown to keep up with inflation. The surplus income is given back to charities and community organisations through grants within Gisborne-Tairāwhiti.
