FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where can I get an application for funding from?
Application forms are available to members of the public at all our gaming venues our. They can also be obtained from info@www.fourwindsfoundation.co.nz or downloaded from this website
Why can't we submit applications online?
We receive hundreds of enquiries and applications monthly. While many are from organisations familiar with online grants processes we also fund smaller organisations and others who are not as tech savvy. It is Four Winds desire to ensure that as many potential valid applicants as possible can apply for funding. Those societies that allow only online grant application processes often eliminate or discourage those that are less online savvy from applying.
What if we want to spend approved funds elsewhere?
Before approved funds are spent elsewhere you need to contact the Four Winds office and seek advice. There is very strict criteria to adhere to under 'The Gaming Act' and before funding is approved suppliers are cross checked and approved. Therefore using another supplier that was not listed with your application may not be possible until they are checked and approved. If wishing to spend funds in an entirely different manner or purpose, then firstly the funds would need to be returned and another application made detailing the new purpose of the application.
