Who are the priorities for funding for the Chinese Poll Tax Heritage Trust?

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.
