Supporting Community Initiatives
  1. Sponsorships and Grants

    The KARI Community Programs Team encourages individuals and organisations from within the community to bring forward program and initiative ideas for consideration. This ensures that our programs are community led and reflective of community need. In order to ascertain this need the Community Programs Team undertakes a process of engaging with the applicant and planning the proposed program initiative. This ensures that all KARI Community Programs are carefully targeted outcome based initiatives.
