Perry Foundation to merge with The Lion Foundation

An exciting and significant development is taking place for Perry Foundation – as of 1 January 2010 we will be merging our operation with The Lion Foundation.

The merger will see the collective organisation operate 261 gaming venues across the country, delivering much needed consolidation in the charitable gaming sector.

Most importantly, this will enable significantly more funds to be returned to New Zealand communities and their causes through efficiency gains.

The strong community-focused philosophy of both The Lion Foundation and Perry Foundation will remain at the heart of the new entity. The combined funding areas of the two trusts will see a wide range of worthy community causes supported across the spectrum - including arts, culture, sports, education and health.

Applying for Grants

For the time being, it is business as usual for you. You can continue to apply to either Perry Foundation or The Lion Foundation as you currently do. We will let you know when this changes and what to do, at that time.

We intend the new grants process to be as seamless as possible and as the operational details of the merger in relation to grants firms we will ensure you are kept well abreast of the process to ensure you have visibility of the application process.

We will continue to keep you informed and updated. If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact us.
