Grant Funding
Formed in 2002 as an agreement between Wanganui District Council, Ruapehu District Council and Genesis Energy, the Trust's objective is to promote and encourage the enhancement of the waters and catchments of the Whanganui River. The Trust is now calling for applications for Whanganui River Enhancement Projects (Social, Economic and Environmental).
The Trust gives special consideration to applications for innovative environmental projects that help protect water quality in the Whanganui River Catchment.
For land owners wishing to undertake environmental works, the Trust will consider a subsidy for capital works (e.g. fencing) of $2 for every $1 put in by the applicant.
Specific criteria apply.
Applications are now CLOSED.
