Can you apply for funding more than once a year?
If your first application is not successful, then you can apply for a contribution to a
different purpose in later funding rounds. We strongly encourage you to phone one
of our Donation Advisors if your application is unsuccessful. They will be able to offer
guidance and advice.
Can you receive more than one donation per year?
Generally, no, you can only receive one donation per calendar year. We consider a
calendar year to mean January to December. (Read the Trust’s Multi-year Donations
Policy for the exception to this rule.) The donation must be spent for the purpose(s)
for which it was donated. Ideally you should have spent the previous year’s donation
before applying again.
Can donations be for more than one year?
Trust Waikato also offers multi-year donations (2 or 3 years). Organisations must
meet additional criteria outlined in our Multi-year Donations Policy.
Does your organisation have:
• services that fit closely with Trust Waikato’s donation areas of focus, and
• funding needs for 2-3 years ahead, and
• a donations record with Trust Waikato for at least 3 consecutive years, and
• audited financial statements with no significant qualifications.
If your organisation fits the multi-year donation criteria, you can apply for
a 2 or 3 year commitment. This can be done online on our
website or you can complete a paper application.
What about tax status and GST?
Trust Waikato donations do not attract GST; donations are exempt from GST.
We encourage organisations to become recognised by the IRD as being tax exempt.
Your organisation may wish to register with the Department of
Internal Affairs – Charities, which will mean you are eligible for
tax exempt status.
