Manawanui’s Fund for Good is an innovation programme which awards grants to help fund big ideas that cannot be funded through Individualised Funding or other funding sources.

It’s all about self-direction and is one of the ways that Manawanui, as a social enterprise, reinvests profits into initiatives that give customers choice and control about how they live. In previous years our grants supported business entrepreneurs, Special Olympics participation, getting a book published, building a greenhouse, song writing and even chickens! Each big idea met the criteria to enhance self-direction and independence.

Thank you to everyone who applied for the 2024 round of Fund for Good. All the winners were announced live on our Facebook page by our CEO Marsha Marshall and Simon. We look forward to catching up with them in the future as they use their funding to achieve their goals.
