Sport Bay of Plenty is proud to be managing the Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa
on behalf of Sport NZ in our region

About the fund

Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa provides funding for programmes or projects delivering play, active recreation and sport experiences for tamariki and rangatahi. These may be new or already operating.

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.

We recommend potential applicants read the below information and documents before applying

What funding is available?

Sport Bay of Plenty is administering the Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa Fund on behalf of Sport New Zealand. This administrative model enables us to drive outcomes for our communities based on the needs of tamariki and rangatahi from the Bay of Plenty region.

The total funding pool available in the Bay of Plenty is $1,192,086.00 which is allocated by Sport New Zealand based on national data and statistics. Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa is then split between the Fast Fund pool and Major Fund pool.

Fund aims	The Fast Fund is intended to help play, active recreation and sport providers in the Bay of Plenty overcome barriers that prevent them from delivering great physical activity opportunities to children and young people. Funding from this pool is available up to $10,000 to support things like equipment purchases, facility hire, transport costs or other goods and services.	The Major Fund is targeted at larger scale projects, and provides funding for existing or new projects and programmes that will improve the physical activity opportunities for children and young people. This funding will have a particular focus on projects or programmes that reach those living in higher deprivation areas, girls and young women aged 5 to 24, and disabled tamariki and rangatahi aged 5 to 18.

Please note that your application must be for a programme or project for up to 12 months (i.e. you cannot apply for costs past a 12-month delivery period).

What can be funded?

Officials, where these are required for the delivery
Delivery staff wages (e.g. activity leader, coordinator)

Recommendations for potential applicants

Successful projects will aim to target children and young people that are not currently involved in any or much physical activity due to major barriers (such as cost, travel, exclusion, low confidence, etc.) and who would otherwise not be exposed to such activities without targeted efforts.

Those wanting to apply need to consider the following before applying:

Which young people aren’t participating in existing opportunities?
Why don’t these appeal or what is stopping them from engaging in these (I.e. what specific barriers do they face)?
What activities would they want to participate in but don’t have access to (either demand related or because of high barriers to participation)

Applicants need to provide evidence of a ‘participant voice’ in order to demonstrate that the young people that are missing out are genuinely interested in doing the proposed activity. In other words – applicants should make an effort to ask young people the above questions and provide this information as part of their application.
