Applications due for Winter Rural Travel Fund

07 March 2025

Rural school and club teams are reminded to apply for financial support through the Winter Rural Travel Fund by Friday 14 March.

The fund subsidises travel from regular sporting events, including competitions and practices within the Far North District, for rural junior teams aged between five and 18 years old. The aim is to reduce the barrier of travel costs, making it easier for teams to compete in organised sports events.

The Rural Travel Fund, set up by Sport New Zealand, is part of the Active Aotearoa Programme and is administered by the Far North’s three community boards.

Applications will be considered by community boards in April. The fund guidelines and application forms are available on the council website. For more information, applicants can contact a Funding Advisor directly on 09 401 5775 or email funding@fndc.govt.nz.
