Apply to the CommunityCare Fund

The Transpower CommunityCare Fund assists those communities affected by Transpower assets and projects by investing in community-based projects that add real value and benefit to the community as a whole.

The CommunityCare Fund makes one-off grants for a minimum of $5,000 or a maximum of $50,000 for projects in communities along the existing National Grid route, as well as communities affected by new Transpower projects.

To see if your community is affected view maps of the National Grid.

In addition to applications from communities affected by existing transmission assets Transpower allocates CommunityCare funding in relation to new projects. We are currently seeking applications for projects in communities affected by the Wairakei to Whakamaru replacement line project and the Lower South Island and Clutha to Waitaki Lines upgrades.

Who can apply for funding?

Any independent, local, non-profit organisation or community group, non-government organisation, charity, school or educational institution, iwi or regional or district council can apply.

The fund is available to all regions throughout New Zealand affected by Transpower assets.
