Welcome To The Mainland Foundation
The Mainland Foundation distributes funds to the wider communities of New Zealand from the proceeds of gaming machines operated in private hotels around the country.
The Mainland Foundation is a non-profit organisation that was established to distribute the funds generated from their gaming venues.
The Foundation maintains an open and equitable funding regime that enables non-profit organisations such as:
sports clubs
cultural groups
community groups
charities
welfare agencies
educational organisations
amateur sporting organisations
societies or trusts
to apply for funds through a transparent application process .
This website is designed to give you detailed information on how to obtain, complete and submit an application form to the Foundation for consideration. Please read the funding guidelines on the "Authorised Purposes" and "Grant Information" pages carefully to ensure that your organisation is entitled to apply for funding and that you have completed all sections of the funding application form.
The Board Members of the Mainland Foundation acknowledge the hard work and commitment of our hotels and taverns that belong, as members, to the Foundation.
