Adverse Events Relief Fund

The Rural Women New Zealand Adverse Events Relief Fund provides financial assistance to rural individuals, families or groups with a particular emphasis on (though not limited to) supporting women and children.

Grants are available to rural individuals, families and households where there is an identified urgent need due to personal hardship, as the result of a recently declared adverse event or a state of emergency.

Community groups may apply for funding to assist communities in recovery from a declared adverse event or state of emergency.

Priority will be given to well-focused applications that directly benefit rural children, women and/or families in affected communities.

Grants are not available for operational requirements for farming or business, such as feed or seed.

Only one grant will be made per household.

The application form provides further details on the criteria for the fund and the information required from applicants.

Grants are limited to up to $1000 per application.

Please email the application to enquiries@ruralwomennz.nz
