Lion Foundation grants over $7m to NZ communities
The Lion Foundation is delighted to report over $7m granted to communities across New Zealand for the months of January
and February 2013. Notable grants include substantial contributions to Auckland Coastguard as they begin work on a
replacement rescue vessel; the purchase of 4WD emergency response vehicles for St John in the South Island and for more
ambulances right across the whole country. We are also pleased to be supporting the Foundation for Youth Development in
various regional sites, The Young Enterprise Scheme, and NZ Football, Golf and Cricket. Equally pleasing for us is the
support provided to Dargaville Primary School in the North and Kapanui School on the Kapiti Coast, plus a whole range of
other great community causes.
The Lion Foundation’s broad based funding approach provides funds more widely than any other trust in New Zealand across
the categories of Sport, Health, Education and Community - which includes The Arts, Heritage, Culture and the
Environment. The Lion Foundation receives hundreds of applications each month from Kiwis who are making a positive
contribution to their communities. We might be able to help your group too. To find out more visit our website www.lionfoundation.org.nz
