Mercury Wind Farm

KAIWAIKAWE WIND FARM COMMUNITY FUND

We know this is a community where people get things done. The Kaiwaikawe Wind Farm Community fund is an annual fund of $30,000 to support organisations and projects in the communities around the wind farm. This funding round is open for a month each July. If you’d like to receive email updates on the fund and other project-related info, we’ll add you to the list at kaiwaikawewindfarm@mercury.co.nz

KEY INFORMATION

Applications to the Fund are considered by a small team including Mercury people who live or work locally, to have a good understanding of where additional support (from the Fund) might make a real difference. We may not be able to accept all requests, or to support any request in full.

APPLY
Read the guidelines and complete the application form.
LET US KNOW
Once your funded project is complete, use the Report Back form to confirm how you've spent the funds and how the projects are benefiting the community.
