History
In 2009, 3 really cool guys, Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and Ali Williams launched the FOR EVERYONE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION (now iSPORT FOUNDATION).
Objectives
Inspiring youth in sport.
Projects funded
The Foundation favours supporting complete projects rather than donating towards a large project which costs considerably more than $5000. If organizations do apply for a grant towards a large project, the Foundation would favour supporting a specific part of the project rather than donating ‘into the pot’.
The Foundation provides grants that bring the community together and will have a positive effect on many people within that community. This could include but is not limited to:
• repairs or building work to community or sporting facilities, playgrounds or other property
• community events that bring the community together, encourage participation and increase community spirit
• projects that provide assistance to the most needy or vulnerable members of the community
• projects that encourage physical activity and healthy behaviour such as sports clubs, youth groups, music and dance, cookery and gardening
Excluded projects
• individuals
• overseas organisations and clubs
• we do not fund teams to go to international events
• loans or debts
• we do not fund retrospectively
• salaries or wages
• prizes, gifts or trophies
• any publicity material
• organisations without annual accounts
• groups that have been in existence for less than 12 months
