Funding Grants

BNZ Save the Kiwi Trust welcomes funding applications from kiwi conservation organisations whose projects align with the Trust’s overall funding purpose and priorities.

Organisations will also need to meet the Trust’s eligibility criteria and, should their funding application be successful, agree in writing to all terms and conditions.

The Trust's funds are allocated through a yearly funding cycle, on a contestable basis. Funding applications for the Trust's 2012/13 funding year (1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013) have now closed.

See how the money was allocated for the 2011/12 year.

The Kiwi Recovery Group, a working group of kiwi experts around the country, will review all the funding applications within the context of the Kiwi Recovery Plan and its recommendations will be taken into account by the Trust. Applicants will be notified the outcome of their application on our around 30th June 2012.

A kiwi’s cry can carry several kilometres. Once kiwi have established their territories, border disputes are usually settled by calls to mark the boundaries, rather than fights.
