For your information: Applications open for Kindred Trust grants

The Kindred-Sharp Trust is associated with the Blind Foundation.  It was set up in 1997 by a Kapiti couple. The purpose of this trust is to provide grants and/or equipment to help enhance the quality of life in the formative years of children who are blind or have severe vision loss.
Grants will be made to, or for the benefit of children under the age of 12 years. The child must be a registered member of the Blind Foundation at the time of making this application.
The maximum grant that the Trust will consider is $500.00 including GST.
Decisions about who will receive grants are made by the Blind Foundation Chief Executive with advice from Blind Foundation staff. Distributions will be made in early July 2015.
Whilst leaving the discretion as to grants entirely in the hands of the Blind Foundation, it is not intended that the same children receive grants year after year. It is also the hope of the Trustees that recipients be selected from different parts of the country.
Applications should be presented in writing or email using the form below:
Kindred Sharp Children’s Trust application form (28kb, .docx).
Please ensure you answer all questions on the form and provide details of how the requested funding will benefit the child.
Quotes, including GST, need to be presented with the application. The purpose of this is so suppliers can be paid direct once approval is given.
Applications must be received by the close of business on Thursday, 25 June 2015 and should be sent to:
