Cynthia Collier grant established

Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ) has announced the establishment of a new grant of $5000 to assist projects and initiatives that support rural communities.
The Cynthia Collier Grant will be awarded annually for the next three years with the first grant being awarded in mid-2024. Applications for the 2024 grant will open by the end of November 2023 and close on April 30, 2024.
Cynthia Collier lived on Wakarua Station near Taihape and was a passionate supporter of her community and the work of RWNZ. This month marks her birthday and this year marks the 10th anniversary of her passing.
“Mum would love to know that she was being remembered through the continued work of people like her to build community connection and support,” Cynthia’s daughter, Jo Romanes said.
The grant will support projects and activities that focus on children, the elderly, community or conservation projects or counselling and education initiatives.
