Official Information Act request for names of organisations and individuals 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 5 August 2025. Your request was for:
“I am writing this again as I was not given a list of the organisations and
individuals who recevied funding under the - Preventing and Countering Violent
Extremism Fund.
I would like a list of ALL individuals and organisations. Not the projects. The
people and organizations who received the funding.”
The recipients of the grants through the Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism Fund
that operated from 2022 to 2025 are available on the Department of the Prime Minister and
Cabinet (DPMC) website. The names of the recipients of the grants together with other
details of each of the projects can be found at:
www.dpmc.govt.nz/our-programmes/national-
security/counter-terrorism/preventing-and-countering-violent-extremism-fund. As the information you have requested is already publicly available, I am refusing your
request under section 18(d) of the Act.
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 wil 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
