As we look forward to enjoying a break over Christmas and New Year, we are pleased to share some key dates.
Holiday closure

Grant applications
Otago Community Trust wishes to remind all applicants that the Trust does not meet to approve grants in January.
Our first Board meeting to consider grants for 2023 is the 21st of February 2023.
Online applications received up to the last day in December are likely to be considered at the February Board meeting. If you have not completed an online application before then you need to register first, and it is good to do this as soon as you are thinking about applying to us. Please note that applications received in January 2023 will be considered at the March Board meeting.
The indicative timetable for 2023 is outlined below. The Trust usually takes 6 to 8 weeks to process an application and may not consider applications that need to be confirmed before this time.
