Commemorative Project Contribution
Commemorative Project Contributions support NZ based projects that recognise veterans' sacrifice.
Projects may get a Commemorative Project Contribution if they:
- are NZ based, and
- commemorate NZ veterans’ enduring contributions through Qualifying Operational Service.
Qualifying Operational Service explained
A project must be either a:
- reunion event
- memorial that is free to the general public
- publication
- education programmes open to NZ students, or
- NZ team's participation in the Invictus Games.
The total contribution you may be able to get is dependent on the project’s total cost. It can be up to a total of NZD$5,000.
You'll need to supply proof of payment with your application.
Reunion
Veteran groups may seek funding for national reunions to commemorate Qualifying Operational Service.
Funding for reunions is based on $10 per veteran, up to a total of NZD$5,000.
