Before you apply

Applications go through the Kākaho portal (kakaho.tnn.co.nz), which requires registering or activating a membership account first — the actual grant categories, criteria and amounts sit behind that login and aren't published on the public site, so this record can only confirm the programme exists and quote its general rules. Payment takes 4–6 weeks after acknowledgement. grants@tnn.co.nz, 0800 668 285.
