TECT funding aims to support the people, places and projects making a difference in the Western Bay of Plenty.
We also want to see your organisation be fit for purpose, deliver to a high standard, and be sustainable in the long term. If your organisation needs support to grow knowledge, improve systems, embed best practice, tell your story or just connect with others, below are the sector lead organisations who have the tools, training and resources to help you grow, thrive, and make a bigger impact.
