How we invest
Tahua penapena
Sport NZ invests with a clear vision: getting Every Body Active in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our goals are shaped by three 4-year strategic plans, including the 2024–2028 Strategic Plan - an important chapter in our Towards 2032 Strategic Direction.
To strengthen the play, active recreation and sport system, we allocate our budget across three investment categories:
Partnerships: Collaborations with organisations like National Sports Organisations, National Recreation Organisations, Regional Sports Trusts and disability organisations, and education and Māori partners to engage tamariki and rangatahi and their communities.
Funds: Investment for groups and organisations to create play, active recreation and sport opportunities.
Programmes: Joint initiatives to build system capability and deliver targeted interventions.
Designed to support diverse groups and initiatives, Sport NZ offers funding opportunities for organisations seeking to make a difference.
