Calling local North Shore organisations!
Our North Shore Fund is open for applications!
We're calling on local community groups in the local board areas of Takapuna-Devonport, Kaipātiki, Upper Harbour, and Hibiscus and Bays who are working to strengthen community networks or promoting general health and wellbeing of their communities. Grants of up to $5,000 are available, and you can find out more by going to our website (www.aucklandfoundation.org.nz...) or feel free to give us a call or drop us an email.
The fund also has support from local resident and well-known personality Judy Bailey, who is one of the founding advisory group members. You can read her thoughts on the North Shore Fund on our website.
