THE LION FOUNDATION

Working Together for Our Community

Since 1985, The Lion Foundation has distributed over $1.1 billion in grants to communities across New Zealand.

Here in Mid Canterbury, BRCT has worked in partnership with The Lion Foundation since 2010 to support local organisations. Funding is generated through gaming proceeds from five local venues, with grants distributed through the Regional Grants Committee.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE DECISIONS

Meet the Regional Grants Committee

The committee includes BRCT's six elected trustees, the Mayor of Ashburton and three independently appointed local residents. Together, they consider applications and help ensure decisions are informed by people who know and understand our community.
