Curling New Zealand

NZ Curling is a non-profit organisation that could not operate without the support of generous funders, sponsors, and donations. Many aspects of NZ Curling require various forms of funding. NZ Curling wishes to thank all of the funding partners and everyone who has donated to our various fundraisers for their continued support.

If you are interested in being a funding partner or donating to NZ Curling, please don't hesitate to get in touch with the NZCA Treasurer and Funding Chair, Nelson Ede, at accounts@curling.org.nz and copy NZCA secretary, nzca.secretary@curling.org.nz.

Development Assistance Progamme (DAP)

World Curling has the Development Assistance Programme (DAP) available to aid Member Associations with development projects aimed at increasing curling participation in their country.

DAP Funding in the 2025 season is from 1st June 2024 to 30th April 2025.

If your club's or group's programme is for the Development of Curling, you can apply to NZ Curling for DAP Funding. Before you begin your project, fill out an application form. You will need to obtain quotes for your project. Allow up to a month for your application to be processed.

Please note: You can not apply for DAP funding retrospectively; it must be completed prior to the commencement of a project.

Process for DAP Application:

A funding year runs from 1st June 2024 - 30 April 2025.
Complete an NZ Curling DAP Application Form. The Information required for NZ Curling is based on # curling, hours curling and length of the curling programme.
Obtain a quote from your ice facility to support the application, and send it to nzca.secretary@curling.org.nz. If you require a quote from MAP, NZCA will obtain it on your behalf.
NZ Curling will apply to World Curling (WC) for Development and Participation Funding (DAP) using the information from 1 - 3
Result of application. If accepted...
The Development Programme occurs. Please take photos.
Submit a 'DAP Reflection Report' on the programme for NZ Curling. This report is to include how many curled, ages, and frequency of the event (weekly etc). The progress you saw and how the funding assisted your development programme. Even get some attendees to tell you things they liked about the programme. NB: There only needs to be one reflection for the whole programme; it doesn't need to be per session. The report is to include some photos of attendees learning to curl and, if applicable, a range of ages etc.
Submit the report as a Word Document with the photos on the Word Doc to NZCA Secretary.
Send the invoice for ice hire to NZ Curling, and NZ Curling will pay the ice time directly to the facility.
NZ Curling will not pay an invoice until it receives a 'reflection report' and invoice for the Development Programme from the ice facility.
NZ Curling submits reports of the programme to World Curling.

If New Zealand qualifies for these events, external funding may be available; therefore, NZCA might consider applications on an individual basis.

Junior Teams

WC covers travel expenses for five players to the World Junior Curling Championships. This does not include airfares for coaches or managers. Junior teams require a coach/and or manager to travel with and assist youth teams. If other funding is unavailable, then consideration may be given to assist coaches and managers.

Teams must apply through the 'NZ Curling Travel Fund Application for travel funds to WC tournaments. This application will include team members, funding already approved, other funders applied for, team account to be deposited, and what date the funding is required.
NZCA reserves the right to provide Travel Funds if the team has been successful in sourcing funding through other avenues.
