Gaming grants nz

New Zealand's unique fundraising model In most countries, gambling is purely for commercial gain. New Zealand is different. We are one of only a few countries in the world with a unique, community-owned model for pub gaming, where the net proceeds are returned to the community instead of the private sector. Making a difference in your community Our funds come from NZCT operators up and down the country who run our gaming machines in their hotels, bars and other venues.

Sport and active recreation Every year, we give millions of dollars in grants to thousands of applicants from a huge range of amateur sport and active recreatiion groups from rugby and netball to kayaking and lawn bowls.

Other charitable causes We also provide funds for other charitable purposes, such as rescue and life-saving services, education, health, the arts, and cultural and community groups.

Where our funding goes We're committed to ensuring money goes back into the communities in which it was raised. Positive outcomes Pub gaming brings many benefits to New Zealand. Community funding Pub gaming funds are an important source of income for community organisations. Hospitality offering Most pub gaming rooms are managed by local publicans, who offer 'pokies' as part of their entertainment package, along with meals, music and other social activities. Our gaming rooms Thanks to the hard work and loyalty of NZCT's gaming room operators, we're able to raise funds for good causes around the country.
