Any parish or mission venture can apply to the Diocesan Council for funds for development projects. Projects should connect to the mission and ministry of the local parish and align with the wider vision of the diocese. They will reach new people, new locations or new generations; employ innovative methods of mission and ministry; or develop leaders.
The Diocesan Development Fund application process is closed until further notice.

Our fundersMany community groups, including parishes, may hold fund-raising events to raise money. Parishes may use raffles to raise funds but this approach to fund-raising can be a costly trap if the law isn’t followed. In New Zealand, raffles are classified as gambling and there are rules to follow to ensure a raffle complies with legislation.
This checklist covers the rules for class 2 gambling as this is the class of gambling activity that community groups are most likely to undertake.
