Applications for the Kindred-Sharp Children's Trust
27 April 2011
Applications are now invited for the Kindred-Sharp Children’s Trust.
The Kindred-Sharp Trust was set up in 1997 by a Kapiti couple.
The purpose of this trust is to provide grants and/or equipment to help enhance the quality of life in the formative years of children who are blind or have severe vision loss.
Grants will be made to, or for the benefit of children under the age of 12 years.
Decisions about who will receive grants are made by the RNZFB Chief Executive with advice from RNZFB staff. Distributions are made once a year in early July.
Whilst leaving the discretion as to grants entirely in the hands of the RNZFB, it is not intended that the same children receive grants year after year. It is also the hope of the Trustees that recipients be selected from different parts of the country.
Applications should be presented in writing, using the appropriate form. Please ensure you answer all questions on the form and provide details of how the requested funding will benefit the child.
Quotes, including GST, need to be presented with the application. The purpose of this is so suppliers can be paid direct once approval is given.
Applications must be received by the close of business on Thursday, 30 June 2011 and should be sent to:
