Kiwisport

More Kids • More Opportunities • Better Skills

On 11 August 2009 the Prime Minister announced KiwiSport; a fund that aims to get more school-aged children participating in organised sport.

The Direct Fund is for primary and secondary schools, who receive $13 and $21 per child respectively, to use on initiatives that lead to the objectives sought from KiwiSport. Schools have discretion about how the fund is used. Payments are made directly to schools, quarterly, through the Ministry of Education Operations Grant.

The Regional Partnership Fund (RPF) will be allocated, via Sport Tasman, to community projects that will achieve the KiwiSport objectives of More Kids, More Opportunities and Better Skills.  All groups receiving RPF will be expected to contribute at least 50% of total project costs.
