Investment areas
For government

We are investing approximately $1.8 million per annum in grants to support the transfer of environmental scientific knowledge to councils.

We invest in this area through:

• The Envirolink scheme, which transfers knowledge from Government funded environmental research to councils..

Where does this money come from?

The various Crown agencies and Ministries that make up the New Zealand Government are funded through a series of financial packages, called ‘Votes’. The Foundation?'s funding is provided through Vote RS&T (research, science and technology), which is made up of a number of output expenses?.

An output expense will deliver a common set of goals or services. The funding for each output expense is specified in the Government’s Budget each year.

We receive money to invest in this area through the Environmental Research (ENV?) output expense.

There is more information in the Research, Science & Technology (RS&T) sector overview.
