Southern Trust Funding Policies :
Section 109 of the Gambling Act 2003 requires a corporate society that operates mainly to distribute net proceeds of class 4 gambling to the community to, at least annually, review the criteria, methods, systems and policies it uses for consideration of applications for the distribution of net proceeds.
A review of the Southern Trust’s funding policy was completed in September 2014 and no changes were made.
The Southern Trust funding policy document (provided for download below) provides a would be applicant organisation an overview all of the relevant information when it comes to both the duties and responsibilities of both the Trust and themselves.
Funding Priorities For The Southern Trust Are :
** We have a particular interest in supporting children, young people and families
** In smaller communities we will work with those communities to determine community need and support those areas that have been identified as a priority
** Funding priority will be given to multi-use sporting facilities above single use facilities
Specific Criteria/Areas We Fund Are :
Please Note :
** The Trustees have the ability to apply discretion when applying these criteria.
** Organisations must have been established for a minimum of 12 months and possess annual audited accounts – the exception are innovative start up programmes that could provide wide ranging benefits to local communities
** The applicant organisation must offer non-exclusive membership
** One application per annum will be considered
** There must be no conflict of interest existing between the applicant and any provider of goods and services
** Comparable quotes must be provided when possible
** Expenses must be incurred within New Zealand with the exception of specialised items purchased overseas when not available locally
** Applications for salaries will be considered in the context of whatever area of the community the applicant group provides services for – generally administration salaries for groups other than community welfare oriented organisations will not be considered
** Only amateur sporting participants can benefit from grants made
** Sporting organisations must be affiliated to a sporting body recognised by Sport New Zealand
** Competitions must be bona fide and recognised as such by the governing body
** Non-incorporated clubs will be limited to $1,500 per application
** Equipment and uniforms must remain the property of the organisation
** Education providers can make applications, not associated organisations
** As a partial funder we see our role as complementing regional sector strategies and other funding opportunities, we will consider projects/applications that add value too but do not replace government’s (local, regional and central) core provision of services by providing community funding for justifiable additional and/or enhanced services
Things We Do Not Fund Are:
** No retrospective grant applications will be considered
** Catering expenses will not be considered
** Bar related expenses will not be considered
** Individual teams will not be considered, applications must be made by the Club
** Overseas travel is not a priority for the Southern Trust

About Us :
The Southern Trust is required under the terms and conditions of our license issued by the Department of Internal Affairs to return at least 40% of gaming machine proceeds to the community.
We strive to return as much as possible to communities through funding. We provide funding to amateur sport, education, community purposes, welfare organizations and arts and culture.
The majority of families within New Zealand have received benefit, either directly or indirectly, from gaming machine proceeds through our funding, which support a huge diversity of organizations and communities.
