The Foundation North & Rule Foundation Fund (FNxRF) is for projects that aim to address a need in takatāpui, MVPFAFF+ and rainbow communities in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) and Te Tai Tokerau (Northland).
History
Since 2022, the Rule Foundation has partnered with Foundation North to help support takatāpui, MVPFAFF+ and rainbow communities via the Rainbow Wellbeing Legacy Fund.
In September 2024, Foundation North agreed to devolve further funding to the Rule Foundation as we are a funder specifically focused on the takatāpui, MVPFAFF+ and rainbow communities in Aotearoa.
What funding is available?
There are two tiers of funding:
-
Up to $10,000 for smaller projects.
-
Up to $70,000 for larger projects.
Criteria - what can we apply for?
Applications should identify a need in takatāpui, MVPFAFF+ and rainbow communities in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland) and Te Tai Tokerau (Northland) and explain how the project will address this need.
We welcome applications from a broad range of activities, including but not limited to: events, programmes, advocacy, groups, support, arts, sport, culture, and education activities.
Funding is for not-for-profit groups and organisations doing charitable work.
Funding is only for work happening in Tāmaki Makaurau and/or Te Tai Tokerau regions.
