Apply for a grant from Sunrise’s General fund  

The Sunrise Foundation understands that every organisation needs various kinds of support to grow and give back to the community. Whether your not-for-profit organisation needs assistance to support new projects, assist with salaries, pay the electricity bill, or purchase much needed items, we may be able to help. 

Since we launched in 2014, we have awarded $1,338,000 of grants across the arts, animal welfare, education, environment, health, community/social services, and sport sectors in Tairāwhiti-Gisborne.  

Applications for funding from Sunrise’s General fund open on 4 June and close at 4pm, 16 July 2024. Any local charity or community organisation with a charitable purpose are invited to apply. All applications will be reviewed by our experienced grants committee to ensure funds are directed to where they will have the greatest benefit in all areas of our community. 

Please visit the Grants page on our website for the application form and funding policy.
