Grant Criteria
InternetNZ Grant Criteria.
InternetNZ provides Grants to fulfil its obligations as a charitable, non-profit common interest society established to maintain and extend the availability of the Internet and its associated technologies and applications in New Zealand.
A Grant application must
- support outcome/s that meet at least one of the Objects of the Society;
- have a demonstrable benefit to people in New Zealand or the Pacific Islands;
- be “future focused” and not retrospective;
- demonstrate a clear element of public/community benefit in the outcome/s;
- not lead to any pecuniary gain for any organisation or individual outside normal employment or contract compensation;
- set out the output/s that will be delivered in return for the grant, and the outcome/s the output/s are seeking to bring about;
- set out in particular any proposed international travel or hospitality uses of grant money;
- be used for the purpose stated and no other purpose. Acceptance of the payment will be deemed to confirm that the Grant has or will be applied accordingly;
- not be for a
speculative venture;
The following will be taken into consideration:
- multi-year commitments will be considered;
- The ability of the
applicant to carry out the project, including their track record;
In addition:
- Grant applications are accepted at any time;
- Grant applicants that are from organisations with public and transparent reporting and accountability requirements will be preferred, over grants to individuals.
- Grant applications can be for the “total cost” of delivering the outputs, which may include administrative or overhead costs.
- A report that details the outcomes of the Grant must be provided by the recipient at the completion of the project, and if the grant is substantial or for a long term then during the period of the grant as agreed;
- There is no
maximum amount that may be granted to an individual organisation.
