Funding

The Anthroposophical Society in New Zealand exists to foster new connections and relationships between people, to further spiritual scientific research, and to enable anthroposophy to live more actively in the world.  

To this end, it will seek to financially support anthroposophical work that is alive and needed today, as well as nurture new initiatives that look to the future, but which might otherwise have difficulty taking root in the world.    

All requests are considered within the context of the aims and objectives of the Society as laid out in the Society’s Rules, and according to the guidelines set out by Charities Services. It is important that all Anthroposophical Society financial support is used in a way that is in keeping with the Society's charitable public benefit aims, that is, to cultivate Anthroposophy through artistic, scientific and educational activities in the broadest sense of these concepts.  

To promote colleagueship and mutual encouragement and help overcome the fragmentation which can exist within the wider anthroposophical movement, the Society is particularly keen to consider applications within the context of the different Sections of the School of Spiritual Science and the mutual support and structure that these can give. 

The Anthroposophical Society in New Zealand places a high value on trust, transparency, goodwill, and the working together of individuals to further our common goals in a responsible and professional way.
