Applying under an umbrella
Definition of an umbrella organisation and an unregistered group:
Umbrella (or fund holder) organisation:
An organisation that meets Foundation North’s general eligibility criteria, is registered on the Foundation North Funding Hub and has the capacity to provide support to an ‘unregistered’ group not able to apply directly as they may not meet one or more of the eligibility criteria.
Unregistered group:
A group that has charitable purpose and has some track record of meeting a need in the community they work in; but may not meet one or more of Foundation North’s general eligibility criteria and therefore not eligible to apply directly for Foundation North funding. The group must operate in the Auckland and/or Northland region.
Please read the guide below before submitting a funding request under an umbrella. We require all support documents listed in this guide to be provided with your funding request.
