Expressions of Interest: Mātātuhi Foundation 2020 Literary Funding Grants

Posted: Tuesday Oct 20, 2020

The Mātātuhi Foundation wants to help shift the dial on the reach and engagement that NZ writers achieve with NZ readers. We do that by supporting innovative and expansive projects with seed funding of up to $5,000.

Our next funding round CLOSES SOON: 31 October 2020.

Submit your expression of interest online at www.matatuhifoundation.co.nz via a simple and short application form

The Foundation will seed fund projects that:

• Relate to New Zealand literature (fiction, non-fiction, poetry)
• Demonstrate innovation
• Deliver broad community literary or literacy benefit outcomes
• Use innovative and cost-effective platforms including digital
• Are new or business expansion projects rather than business-as-usual projects
• Represent well-considered, robust propositions with identified, achievable and measurable deliverables

The Foundation will generally NOT fund:

• Business-as-usual activities or costs such as ongoing operational or staff overheads
• Ancillary project costs including catering expenses or international travel
• Projects that can access full funding elsewhere
• The writing or publishing of individual titles unless there is deemed to be a significant community benefit
