PLD Grants for Principal Associations 2026

PLD GRANTS FOR PRINCIPAL ASSOCIATIONS POLICY

Rationale: In 2017, NZPF took over the running of our National Conference which meant that principals’ associations that had previously been able to benefit from any surplus were now unable to do so. NZPF recognises the need to provide fiscal support for principals' associations from any surplus from the previous years’ NZPF Conference.

Purposes:

To support principals’ associations with the provision of quality professional development opportunities and support for members.
To distribute surplus funds arising from the annual Conference.

Guidelines:

Grants will be awarded to organisations within the following regions:

Northland
Auckland Region
Waikato/Thames Valley/King Country
Bay of plenty
Hawkes Bay Region
Taranaki/Whanganui/Manawatu
Wellington and Wairarapa
Nelson/Marlborough/West Coast
Canterbury/Aoraki Region
Otago/Southland Region

To ensure equity of access to NZPF conference funds, the Awards Committee will consider:

The quality of the application
The needs of the association and the benefit to member principals
Previous NZPF financial support
Financial support from other sources

Applications for grants must be made on the form provided and be received at the NZPF National Office by 1 March.
