General Questions

Canterbury Rugby develops programs and initiatives for the good of the game which are aimed at key areas led by a NZR or a regional strategy.

They will traditionally provide for a broad-based approach rather than a bespoke opportunities that the foundation can easily provide.

Foundation funding will be complementary and an add-on to any provincial union funding.

The Foundation is also 100% focused on the community game. Not high performance or representative rugby, which is supported by Canterbury Rugby.

The intent of the Foundation is not to take away sponsors money from clubs. It is new money, donations or bequeaths.

Where a sponsor has a commitment to a club, we would encourage them to maintain that and any new funding to the Foundation can be specifically focused.

The Silverlake funding provides for:

  • NZR to maintain a Legacy fund to help assist community initiatives but is unlikely to be up and running until 2025 for any applications which are likely national or regional initiatives.
  • Increased funding for provincial unions to develop programs and initiatives for the good of the game which are aimed at key areas led by a NZR or regional strategy.

The Foundation is able to provide for bespoke requests and specifically targeted initiatives all being 100% Canterbury focused – it can be complimentary to other initiatives, but it’s also being set up to help fill any future gaps in funding as current forms change and adjust their strategies.
