who received grants through the Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism Fund
Thank you for your follow-up to your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received
on 11 July 2025. We responded to you on 25 July 2025, and you have followed up with a
request for:
“Thank you for your response, I did review the link before submitting the OIA
request: https://www.dpmc.govt.nz/our-programmes/national-security/counter-
terrorism/preventing-and-countering-violent-extremism-fund.
What I’m specifically requesting is a list of the organisations and individuals who
received funding - not just the project titles.
For example:
FACT Aotearoa – John Doe and Jane Doe – $50,000
If you could provide the names of the recipients and the amounts they received,
it would be greatly appreciated and extremely helpful for my work.”
As requested, please find attached a document listing all recipients of the grants through the
Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism Fund that operated from 2022 to 2025.
The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) is also planning to publish this
information on our website soon.
For completeness, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my
decision under section 28(3) of the Act.
This response will be published on the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s
website during our regular publication cycle. Typically, information is released monthly, or as
otherwise determined. Your personal information including name and contact details will be
removed for publication.
Yours sincerely
