Each year we support a wide range of interests and segments of our local community. We’ve helped purchase cycling gear for Olympic hopefuls and assisted others to compete internationally; we’ve bought equipment for the local cricket, hockey and yacht clubs; and we’ve supported local schools, the Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade and Sumner Lifeboat Institute - we’re open to anything that meets the Foundation’s criteria outlined on the application form, and helps our people and our community thrive.

The Sumner Ferrymead Foundation has celebrated 30 years of supporting the local community. To mark the occasion, we are offering five community grants up to a total value of $30,000 for clubs, groups, and organisations within the Foundations catchment area (see catchment area here). There are four grant categories: sport, art & culture, education, and environment. Applications close on April 22nd 2024. Click here for more information
