The Harcourts Foundation’s Grant Program is now open to provide support that helps grow and enrich the communities.

They are incredibly proud of the work the Harcourts Foundation and its many supporters are doing to help to change lives and make dreams come true.

How the Foundation works?

Harcourts New Zealand team members donate a percentage of their commission from the sale of properties and these funds are administered by the Harcourts Foundation. Every dollar donated goes into communities where they’re needed.
The contributing offices know their local communities best and decide which charities, groups or projects they wish to support in their area. Examples include local schools, surf lifesaving clubs, Riding for the Disabled, Hospice and other small charities which struggle to find funding.
Application Guidelines

You need to be either a registered charity, school or have IRD Donee Status to receive a grant.
Grant applications must be for a specific project, item, or initiative.
Requests for the project, item or initiative must be scheduled to occur within six months of receiving the grant.
Grants will not be given for items already purchased or initiatives/projects already held.
If the grant is not used for the purpose for which it was applied, the funds MUST be returned so they can provide the grant to another group elsewhere.
If you are a branch of an organisation or charity where another branch has been successful in achieving a grant from them in the past:
this does not mean you automatically qualify for a grant; and
each application will be considered independently based on funds available and circumstances at the time.
Please attach a quote with your grant application which matches the dollar amount you are requesting. Unfortunately, they cannot accept applications without a quote.
