The Trust's current priorities for funding are requests for the following projects:
- histories of Chinese restaurants and takeaway shops (Chinese cuisine or otherwise)
- New Zealand Chinese Association Branch histories
- histories of Chinese wives and mothers pre 1970's
- restoration of gravestones (where there are no surviving family members to take on this role)
- commemoration of poll tax payers.
Histories can be from a regional or national perspective.
Requests for projects of this type are not guaranteed funding and must meet the same requirements as any other request to the Trust.
