We Care Community Trust funds amateur sport, youth, kaumātua and the arts using proceeds raised from gaming in your local area.
We make grants for charitable and non-commercial purposes that benefit the towns where our gaming venues operate.
Uniforms, gear, training costs and travel for cricket, kabaddi, football and grassroots clubs.
Backing schools, scholarships, childcare and programmes that build young character.
Welfare support, public health initiatives and care for the elderly, including ten ambulance donations to Hato Hone St John across the North Island.
Non-profit cultural and arts festivals, including music festivals that celebrate every culture.
Footpaths, cycleways, public car parks and facilities the whole community shares.
Counselling, mediation and social networks that help new arrivals settle into NZ life.
You must be a non-profit body and the grant must be for a specific, future purpose. We can't fund things already paid for.
Submit through our online application system before the 10th of the month. Paper applications are no longer accepted.
The Trustees consider applications on the last Sunday of each month, in line with our authorised purpose.
Everything you need to apply for funding from We Care Community Trust.
Every grant is a real piece of equipment, a team on the field, or a festival that goes ahead.
Ten Hato Hone St John ambulances, each valued at $350,000, proudly funded by We Care Community Trust since 2021. Now serving Te Puke, Hāwera, Thames, Kaipara, Katikati and Tairua. Keeping communities safe across the North Island, every day.
"We were ecstatic to get the news about the support from We Care. The new mower means we can keep the ground match-ready all season."
Providing learning resources and scholarships to give young people across our regions the best possible start.
Helping non-profit cultural and music festivals bring whole neighbourhoods together in celebration.
We couldn't operate without the venue operators who choose to partner with the Trust. Please support those who support us.
Gaming should be entertainment. All our venues operate a harm-minimisation policy, and help is always available for anyone affected by problem gambling.
Grants from We Care Community Trust are donations considered as unconditional gifts. No portion of the grant is claimed by the Trust as a deduction for GST. If a grant applicant is GST registered, only the GST exclusive amount can be funded.
