Return to 'Lottery Outcomes Framework'

Lottery decision makers must consider many factors when making lottery grant decisions.

Applications are more likely to be funded if they are:

  • For a community purpose
  • Align to the Lottery Grants Board Te Puna Tahua’s (the Board) strategy, vision and guiding legislation
  • Consider the priorities set by the Board
  • Consider the priorities set by distribution committees.

Priority outcomes

The Board sets overall priority outcomes for the lottery grants system.  The Board also sets policies about what is not funded by lottery grants.

Lottery distribution committees use the Outcomes Framework to set their priority outcomes and to make funding decisions. Lottery decision makers must also have regard to the needs of Māori and as appropriate, older people, Pacific people and other ethnic communities, women, youth, and people with disabilities.
