Work With Us

Northland Community Foundation is seeking volunteers to join our Grants Committee for the 2026 funding round.

Each year, we distribute funding to support community organisations across Te Tai Tokerau Northland — helping deliver projects and services that make a real difference in our communities. Our Grants Committee plays a key role in reviewing applications and helping ensure funding is allocated thoughtfully and fairly and where it will have the greatest impact. We are looking to build a balanced committee with a range of perspectives, particularly from the Far and Mid North.

What’s involved:

• Reviewing funding applications

• Assessing projects based on community impact and need

• Participating in one committee meeting in late July

Who we’re looking for:

• Strong connection to Northland communities

• Community knowledge or lived experience

• Comfortable reviewing applications and contributing to decisions

Why get involved:

• Help shape how funding is distributed across Northland  

• Support initiatives that make a real difference in your community  

• Bring your perspective to a thoughtful and collaborative process
