About Us
Following the winding up of the former Northern Timber Association, the remaining funds of that organisation were transferred to the Northern Timber Association Charitable Trust.
The purpose and objective of the Northern Timber Association Charitable Trust is to advance the education of those who are, or wish to be, employed in the New Zealand timber industry.
1. For that purpose we will consider all of the following, but not limit consideration to these only:
2. Supporting other registered charitable entities from time to time. These may include the likes of:
To further our objectives we will seek, accept and receive grants and donations for all and any of the purposes and objectives of the Trust.
Due consideration of the above will enable the elected Trustees to appropriately distribute the available funds for the benefit of timber industry participants throughout the geographical regions covered by previous membership of the former Northern Timber Association.
Distribution of the funds will be decided by the Trustees upon receipt of online (or written) applications from various timber-industry-related sources who may request financial support specifically for educational and training purposes.
The amount of funding to be distributed each year will be capped at a level yet to be determined by the Trustees and such amount will be solely at their discretion. This will ensure funding will continue to be available for some years ahead.
