NZ SPORT AND RECREATION FUNDING DIRECTORY
Clubs are advised that SPARC has established a directory of funding sources at www.fis.org.nz/sparc/.

The searchable directory contains information about philanthropic trusts, gaming trusts and other community organisations that support the sport and recreation sector. SPARC has made the directory available in order to assist organisations that are not eligible for financial support from SPARC, such as individual sports clubs, to identify potential funding sources.

The search engine enables you to specify, in general terms, the type of project, your location, the type of expenses for which funding is sought and the level of funding. You then obtain a list of those funding agencies most likely to fund your specific requirements. For further information see www.fis.org.nz/sparc/.
