There are currently two investment streams that Aktive administers – GAAAP (Greater Auckland Aquatic Action Plan) and KiwiSport.
Apply for GAAAP Funding
GAAAP funding is available to decile 1 to 6 primary schools and children in years 3 to 6. It is only available to primary schools in the Greater Auckland Area, excluding the Old Manukau City Council Boundaries which is covered by The John Walker Find Your Field of Dreams Foundation.
GAAAP currently has funding available for 20,000 students per year to participate in the programme. Once this number is reached no further funding will be allocated.
Prior to the lessons commencing, all parties must have a fully signed GAAAP Memorandum of Understanding. Memorandums of Understanding cannot be done retrospectively. If a school has lessons without a Memorandum of Understanding signed by all parties, GAAAP will not pay for the lessons.
