If you (or your organisation) provide Out of School Care and Recreation (OSCAR) for 5 to 13 year olds before school, after
school or as holiday programmes, you may be eligible for OSCAR grant funding from the Ministry of Social Development.
When we consider your application, priority will be given to:
• providers and/orprogrammes that haven't received funding before
• providers operating in an area identified as being low socio-economic, seasonal or isolated
• programmes operating in an area where there's an OSCAR service gap
• programmes that support Māori, Pasifika, immigrants, refugees or children with special needs and/or disabilities.
For more information about the OSCAR grant funding criteria, visit workandincome.co.nz

To apply for OSCAR funding, there are two forms you must complete.
• Part one - Provider information
