FUND UPDATE
Sport Auckland is proudly facilitating the
Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund on behalf
of Sport NZ within the Central Auckland and
Howick region.
This funding is available for projects or programmes that
specifically aim to deliver play, active recreation and sport
experiences for tamariki and rangatahi, who are inactive,
possibly due to a range of barriers such as cost, travel, low
confidence etc. and would otherwise miss the opportunity
for such activities without targeted efforts.
The funding is focused on groups who are more at risk of
missing out, identified as those living with a disability, in
higher deprivation communities and girls and young women.
Through Sport Auckland, two funding options are available
for application:
• Fast Fund applications, of up to $10,000 can be applied
for at any time, and;
• Local fund applications of requests exceeding $10,000 are
considered twice a year through funding rounds.

Applications for Fast Fund can be made at any time.
Applications for Local Fund Round #2 are open and
close on 29 March 2021.
Moving Together will highlight within each issue how,
through the provision of Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa Funding,
successful applicants are making a difference.

RECIPIENT PROFILE
SAILABILITY AUCKLAND
One of the first recipients is Sailability Auckland,
the oldest Sailability group in New Zealand, who
have been operating since 1991.
They recently received $7,000 of funding from the Tū
Manawa Active Aotearoa fund, which will go towards
introducing people with disabilities to sailing and teach them
how to sail. This programme, is much more than just plain
sailing, for some it will be the first sport they can actively
participate in.
The outcomes that Sailability Auckland aims to achieve
through being a recipient of this funding are:
• Increasing participation of people with disabilities in
sailing
• Creating a sense of belonging through empowering
people with disabilities to become more engaged with
their community and removing the feelings of isolation
• Providing a space for families and supporters to share
experiences and offer informal support and social
interaction.
