Sports Knowledge Exchange
The Foundation's Sports Knowledge Exchange is a fund for New Zealand sports sector representatives to establish connections and develop relationships with their counterparts in Asia.
The fund is aimed at sports administrators, national sports organisation representatives, event organisers, coaches, umpires and officials to grow a deeper understanding of the delivery of sport in the region.
The funding can be used to travel to Asia to meet with sports representatives/organisations to learn from them and discuss opportunities for collaboration.
Though not a requirement, a positive outcome of this investment would be reciprocal hosting in New Zealand of representatives from the organisation/s you met with in Asia (Note, this will not be covered by the Foundation).
The fund will be offered once a year and is open to New Zealand citizens or permanent residents. Applicants can apply for up to $6000.
The next round of funding will open early October 2024, for travel in 2025
