About the fund
At the Bay of Plenty Regional Council, our work guides and supports the region's environmental sustainable development. This is focused around four outcomes we're working towards for the community; a healthy environment, freshwater for life, safe and resilient communities, and a vibrant region.
The School Sustainability and Resilience Fund helps support the work we do, and we invite all schools, kura, kohanga, kindergartens, early childhood education centres and other education organisations across our rohe to design and plan an environmentally sustainable and resilience project.
