When are grant applications considered?

  • The Nautilus Foundation Board of Trustees meet once each month to consider all completed grant applications submitted from the month before (eg applications received in July will be considered in August).
  • The closing date for applications each month is the last day of the month.
  • Please ensure that grants applications are submitted at least 2 months before the due date of when the funding is required, otherwise the application may be declined or not meet your funding deadline.
  • Please note grant applications are only submitted to the Board for consideration if they meet the authorised purposes and have correct documentation.

Use of proceeds

The proceeds from gaming machines can only be used for particular authorised purposes. The authorised purpose theTrust has been licensed for is "distributions to groups promoting
amateur sport, charitable organisations, cultural or philanthropic activities for the benefit of the New Zealand community in a non-commercial sense". Grants will not be made for commercial activities whatsoever.

Retrospective payment of donations/grants

Under the Department of Internal Affairs licence conditions. The Trust is unable to approve payment for anything you have already paid for. Any application which has receipts is retrospective. Make sure your organisation applies for funds before your event/project/purchase takes place.

Allocation must be made for the purposes
within New Zealand

To meet Inland Revenue requirements, all grants must be utilised for purposes within New Zealand for New Zealand services or goods.

Sporting events or tournaments

Travel and accommodation costs (not to include any food or alcohol costs) may be processed provided an "official" itinerary endorsed by the host body is supplied along with an itemized breakdown of the quoted costs. Participating clubs/organisations must be taking part in a bona fide event sanctioned by a recognised, legitimate national or regional body.
