ABOUT NZCT

MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE COMMUNITY

Kiwis love their sport, and NZCT loves to help them enjoy and participate in their sporting passions.

We are excited about the difference we make to sporting organisations all across the country. Whether it's a school group or adult team, a national sports body or elite competitor, we help New Zealanders of all ages and abilities to take part in just about every imaginable sporting code.

NZCT GRANTS

Every year, we give millions of dollars in grants to thousands of applicants from a huge range of sporting groups ' from rugby and netball to kayaking and lawn bowls. We are proud to be New Zealand's biggest funder of amateur sport.

While sport is our primary focus, we also provide funds for charitable purposes such as rescue and life-saving services, education, health, the arts, cultural and community groups.

Our funds come from NZCT operators up and down the country who run our gaming machines in their hotels, bars and clubs.

WHERE OUR FUNDING GOES

We're committed to ensuring money goes back into the communities from which it was raised. NZCT is the only trust with Regional Advisory Committees. These groups of local people help with advice about recipients of funding in their area. So far we have established five of these committees around the country and hope to create more.

In 2007, we made more than 4,020 grants totalling over $45 million. We work hard to ensure that NZCT works in the best interest of your community.
