School Sustainability and Resilience Fund

In early 2024 we received 38 applications for our School Sustainability & Resilience Fund from schools, kura, kohanga, kindergartens, early childhood education centres and other education organisations across our rohe. This year Trust Horizon, TECT and BayTrust have contributed extra funding to help make more projects a success.

Together with the community vote and the youth vote, we congratulate the 31 successful applicants who will receive funding towards their environmentally sustainable project.

We thank everyone for their contributions, time and commitment to making the 2024 funding round a great success!
