There were 29 community grant applications received and evaluated for the 2025 Innovation Grant, with 27 being approved for funding.  Community organisations have received notification letters advising them if there were successful or not.  Contracts are being prepared and we anticipate funding will be made available by the end of March.

Subject to contracts being signed by both parties, we will provide an update soon on which community organisations were successful, and the Smokefree initiatives they will be delivering.

If you have any questions please email us at innovation.fund@health.govt.nz
