Whitewater NZ runs several funds that put money back into rivers and paddlers, from club grants to keeping river access open and to providing support for river users involved in whitewater incidents. Here’s where each one goes.
Twice-yearly grants for clubs and community projects, mostly in the lower North Island, funded by the Mangahao hydro agreement.
The Awa Aroha Fund provides mental health support to people affected by a fatal or near-fatal incident on the river.
