Countdown Growing for Good Grants

If you have a class of budding gardeners, conservationists and environmental champions and have a project in mind to help protect Aotearoa’s environment for generations to come - we can help with that.

Countdown is inviting primary and intermediate schools (Years 1- 8) throughout New Zealand to apply for funding for environmental projects through the Countdown Growing for Good grants programme.

The programme, which is now open for applications, aims to support Kiwi kids to get involved in protecting, supporting and enhancing their local environment. So if your school is looking to plant a vegetable patch, protect your local native habitat, or develop a recycling or composting programme - we want to hear from you!

Funding available:
Countdown Growing for Good grants of up to $1,000.00 (ex GST) each, will be offered in the first grant round. A total of $20,000 in grants will be provided.
