Sport New Zealand has allocated $25 million to provide short-term relief to local and regional sport clubs and organisations.
This includes a $15 million community resilience fund for sport played at a local level.
Sport NZ CEO Peter Miskimmin says the fund is vital for ensuring that sport at all levels remains viable and can resume as soon as possible.
The fund opened for applications on May 11 and is being administered through New Zealand’s 14 regional sport trusts, including Auckland Sport & Recreation and Sport Northland.
Sport clubs can apply for a maximum of $1000 while regional bodies can apply for up to $40,000.
The remainder of the relief package includes $6 million for “high performance partners” such as olympians and sport organisations such as Netball NZ or NZ Cricket.
It also includes $3 million to promote sport and recreation to those most in need, such as disabled persons or those living in deprived areas.
In April, Sport NZ also affirmed it would continue to pay out $70 million worth of financial commitments to sport trusts and organisations across the nation through to June 2021.
