KiwiSport

                                     

KiwiSport is a government funding initiative to support sport for school-aged children.  KiwiSport was launched by the Prime Minister, John Key on 11 August 2009.

KiwiSport provides funding for school-aged children via Direct Fund with primary and secondary schools and through the Regional Partnership Fund, given to Regional Sports Trusts (i.e Sport Wellington). KiwiSport aims to:

  • Increase the number of school-aged children participating in organised sport
  • Increase the availability and accessibility of sport opportunities for all school-aged children
  • Support children in developing skills that will enable them to participate effectively in sport

The KiwiSport Regional Partnership Fund encourages schools, clubs and community organisations to collaborate in increasing opportunities for organised sport.
