The New Zealand Community Trust announced today it dished out nearly $900,000 in grants to community organisations, schools and councils in the Bay of Plenty Region in May.

Twenty-five organisations received a portion of the total $888,022.15 distributed.

The largest grant, of $250,000, went to Tauranga Hockey Association to help fund a third hockey turf in Tauranga, with the Papamoa Community Surf Rescue Base Trust receiving the second biggest amount of $200,000 for the new surf club.

The funds came from gaming venues throughout the Bay of Plenty region.
