The following two funding opportunities are both managed by Perpetual. Go to the Perpetual website for more information about the funds and to download application forms.  

Farina Thompson Charitable Trust invites applications from 1 April 2012 from youth services organisations, preferably in the Canterbury Region. The deadline for applications is 1 July 2012.

New Zealand Charitable Foundation invites applications from organisations “assisting humanitarian issues”, with preference to those from the Canterbury area. The Foundation generally supports ongoing funding needs rather than capital items, but the donations are usually small because of the number of applications received. The deadline is 30 June each year.
