TŪ MANAWA ACTIVE AOTEAROA​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​






​​​​​​​Sport Waitākere is proud to be partnering with Aktive to manage Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa on behalf of Sport NZ in West Auckland​​​​​​​. ​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​WHAT IS THE TŪ MANAWA ACTIVE AOTEAROA FUND?

Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa is an activation fund that supports tamariki (5-11yrs), rangatahi (12-18yrs) and tāngata whaikaha (5-24)  particularly those that are less active, to access quality play, active recreation and sport opportunities of their choice in their community, school or kura.

We know from research that there are some groups who are more at risk of missing out or being less active, including those living with a disability, in higher deprivation communities and girls and young women. Programmes or projects that reach these groups will be prioritised for funding. These priority groups are:

  • Children and young people (5-18) in higher deprivation communities
  • Girls and young women (5-18)
  • Disabled children and young people (5-18)

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​We welcome applications from a wide range of groups and organisations.​​​​​​​

THERE ARE TWO FUNDS YOU CAN APPLY FOR:

Funding rounds will open from August 2024 and run until we are exhausted of funds or 30 June 2025 (whichever comes first). 

1) ​​​​​​​​​​Fast Fund  (up to a maximum of $10,000) Applications can be made at any time. ​​​​​​

​​​​​​​Please note all applications (fast and local funds) can only be for a maximum of 12 months (i.e you cannot apply for costs past a 12-month delivery period). ​​​​​​​

2) Local Fund (over $10,000)

This fund will be assessed during 2 'application windows' throughout the year.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What does Tū Manawa mean?

The meaning behind the words are tū - ‘to stand’ and manawa – ‘breath’. In the context of play, active recreation and sport the name calls to all New Zealanders to live our vision - Every Body Active. - SPORT NZ

Note: Tū Manawa funding can’t be used in a school setting to provide and FTE or equivalent that are akin to HAL Advisor/Community Activator and Sport Coordinator/PE roles.

  • Bikes in Schools applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis
