National Road Freight Association Transporting New Zealand is urging members to get their applications in quickly, with just seven days left to apply for funding through their Endowment Committee’s 2025 Grant Round. Applications close on 30 September 2025, with the Committee having up to $27,000 to award in grants.
The Endowment Committee, a sub-committee of Transporting New Zealand, was established to manage and distribute funds previously held by former road transport association regions. It awards grants that protect, promote, and advance the road freight sector and those working in it.
This year’s funding has already supported a range of valuable initiatives, such as helping young drivers attend Street Smart driver education courses and assisting the Port & Intermodal Group in developing a stacker and lifter good practice guide.
The Committee welcomes applications from Transporting New Zealand members that do any of the following:
education and training opportunities
advocacy or industry representation
safety, environmental performance, or innovation
technical research or policy engagement
industry-wide communication and information sharing
scholarships or workforce development
resources for members, employees, and supply chain partners
Applications must be submitted using the approved online application form, available on Transporting New Zealand’s website. All funding requests must be received no later than 30 September 2025, with outcomes to be announced in late October/early November.
Don’t miss this opportunity to support initiatives that will strengthen the future of the road freight sector. Apply now.
