COMMUNITY FUNDING

Local Funding. Local Organisations. Local Impact.

Since 1950, we have been supporting the Ashburton community, helping local organisations, projects and individuals do more, achieve more and make a difference. From sport and education to culture, wellbeing and community initiatives, our support reaches across the district and into the communities we are proud to be part of.

You can apply directly to us through our Braided Rivers Community Trust Grants, or explore funding available in partnership with The Lion Foundation. With different funding options available throughout the year, there may be an opportunity that fits what you are looking to achieve.
