Canon New Zealand is calling for Kiwis to apply for its environmental grants.
The Environmental Grants Programme offers $15,000 worth of grants in-kind to New Zealand schools, community groups and not-for-profit organisations which are making a difference to their environment and the community.
There are three grants available, with each winning project receiving $5000 worth of Canon equipment to help support their initiative - from digital compact and DSLR cameras, to binoculars or projectors.
Winners are selected on the merits of their project, as well as on the impact that the Canon products would make to support their efforts. Applications are open to community or regional organisations as well as education organisations including preschool, primary and secondary or tertiary projects. Applications close on Friday, October 24.
The Canon Environmental Grants will be awarded under the following categories:
- Regional Award: An environmental project with significance to a rural or regional area within New Zealand;
- Education Award: An environmental project being run by a kindergarten, primary or secondary school or tertiary organisation, or group within the organisation, within New Zealand;
- Community Award: An environmental project being run by a community group or organisation within New Zealand.
