Tabernacle Trust small projects grants
As advised in an email to community ministries contacts and pastors late last month, the Tabernacle Trust is accepting applications for small project grants until Sunday 4 March 2012.

Every applicant must be a charitable Baptist enterprise and appropriately registered with the New Zealand Charities Commission.

• To access the online grant application forms, an applicant organisation must first create a website account with the Tabernacle Trust through an authorised contact person of their choosing. Once this has been established, in the future as application periods open and forms become available, the contact person for the applicant organisation will be informed, prompted to log in to the Tabernacle Trust website and begin the application process.
• For 2012 the grants will be for capital items only, and the following will NOT be funded: data projectors etc; Resource Consents; architect’s fees/drawings.
• Make sure you read the ‘General Conditions for Applicant’ under the FAQ section of their website before you apply www.tabernacletrust.org.nz.

If you have any queries regarding the application process or criteria, please contact the Trust directly. The contact details are on their website.
