Cystic Fibrosis is NZ's most common life-threatening inherited disease and the CF Association is the only national organisation dedicated to all aspects of the condition.

Grants and Awards

Living with Cystic Fibrosis is hard, but despite their struggles, People with CF achieve many things. There are times however, when they can do with a helping hand. We are here to help make life just a little bit easier with a range of awards and grants. You will find details of each award or grant on these pages along with details on how to apply for it. This assistance has been made possible only by the generous donations and endowments from individuals and businesses alike.

 

 

Allied Health Education Grants

 

The Cystic Fibrosis Association of New Zealand (CFANZ) has increased its fund for assisting Cystic Fibrosis Allied Health Professionals to attend appropriate learning opportunities.

 

There will be two rounds of applications each year. Each round will have maximum pool of $2500, to contribute to learning opportunities for these professionals.  Grants will not aim to cover the whole cost of attending any learning opportunity. In the main, grants will not exceed $500.

 

Grants will be prioritised toward professionals whose services are provided to the wider CF Community of New Zealand and those whose work has a national focus or those in areas of NZ that have high or special CF needs.

 

Professionals whose work is in a specific geographic area are encouraged to apply to the local CF Branch for support first, before applying to the National round. NOTE: funding from one source does not automatically preclude you from applying to the other.

 

Round One: 1 April to 30 June, each year

 

Round Two: 1 October to 31 December, each year

 

Application forms are available here Allied_Health_Education_Grant_App_Form_May2010.pdf or by contacting the CFANZ office. A form is attached to this email for your files.

 

Forms are to be completed in full, and be forwarded to the CFANZ Administrator before closing date, accompanied by the correct documents.

 

A decision will be made by the CEO of CFANZ, and all applicants will be notified within two weeks of the current round closing.
