The Generator backs Kiwis with enterprising ideas that increase income or reduce costs within their communities.

It is the one place where any eligible Kiwi can dream big and receive the seed funding they need to bring that idea to life.

You need to have a Community Services Card to apply for funding.

Fill out your contact details and a Community Generator will be in touch with you to help get you started.


Trial seed funding is $2000 maximum.

Please email evidence of experience, qualifications and licenses to hello@thegenerator.org.nz immediately after you've submitted this application.

Select Trial if you’ve never been funded by The Generator. Select Ongoing if you’ve already received funding from The Generator. Select Response or Innovation only on recommendation by your Community Champion.
