Mayoral Grants & Donations

The Mayor’s Office holds a small budget which can be used to help support Lower Hutt residents either with charity events or participation in national and international competitions where they are representing Te Awa Kairangi and Aotearoa.

The budget is solely at the Mayor’s recommendation, and expenditure is allocated based on actual requests to the Mayor. All applicants must reside in Lower Hutt and requests must be made in writing for audit purposes.

Apply for a Mayoral Grant or Donation online.
