Our investment approach has changed for 2020-2024.

There are several key features of our new investment approach: 

• Investment will be aligned to greater targeting to improve the physical activity levels of tamariki and rangatahi.
• Using our investment to leverage other investment and resources in the system.
• Unlocking and retaining a portion of investment from our Investment Portfolio to enable opportunities to experiment while sustaining what is working well, and flexibility to explore opportunities with new investment partners.
• Three investment categories with differing characteristics – Partnerships, Funds and Programmes.
• Different periods of commitment, allowing us to be responsive while also giving some certainty to the system.
• Most Partnerships investment will be committed for four years (if the partner meets agreed expectations), while other investment will be committed for one, two or three-year periods.
  
  

Investment categories

We have three investment categories in our Sport NZ Investment Portfolio 2020-2024.

Partnerships

We work together with our partners to understand and agree on their initiatives that best meet the needs of tamariki and rangatahi in their communities.

Our partners include:

• Regional Sports Trusts
• National Sport Organisations
• National Recreation Organisations
• Disability Partners
• Education Partners
• Others with a mandate to support their communities

Funds

We provide investment to boost access to opportunities for specific groups.

For example:

• Tū Manawa Active Aotearoa
• Young Women's Activation Fund
• Innovations for Young Women Fund

Programmes

We advise the system regarding our own initiatives and how we'll lead and deliver these, many of these being with partners.

For example:

• He Oranga Poutama
• Healthy Active Learning
• Regional Sport Directors
• Coach Developer
• Business Capability
