$1,000 - $15,000 per grant
Auckland Climate Response Grants are one-off grants open to a range of groups particularly those who have not previously engaged with climate action activity or are rapidly building capacity in this area.
Auckland Climate Strategic Grant
$15,000 - $50,000 per grant
The Auckland Climate Strategic Grant supports programmes and activities aligning with one or more priority activity themes (Transport, Food, Energy, or Māori-led) with tangible or clearly quantifiable emissions reduction and/or resilience outcomes.

Primary Sector Growth Fund (PSGF)
$246 million fund over four years
The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) funds projects throughout the food and fibre value chain for the benefit of New Zealand and rural communities.

$30m per year, or until the funds are exhausted.
Te Pūtea Whakamauru Para – the Waste Minimisation Fund (WMF) focuses on boosting Aotearoa New Zealand’s performance in waste minimisation. This includes projects that improve sorting and separation of organic material, resource recovery systems, and processing capabilities for organic waste.
