How it works

Four steps. No meetings, no hourly billing.

1

Pay $249

Checkout takes a minute. Flat fee, GST receipt, no surprises later.

2

20-minute intake

One short form about your organisation, the project and what you need funded.

3

Pack in 3 working days

You get the full application pack: every question answered, budget built, outcomes framed for the funder.

4

You submit via RealMe

Your organisation lodges it through its own RealMe login. You stay in control and on the record.

Track record

Every Lottery application we have written has been funded.

That is our record so far, stated plainly. It is not a promise: no one can guarantee a grant, and anyone who says otherwise is selling you something else. What we control is the quality of the application, and we control it completely.

More than applications

When one application isn't the whole job

Some organisations need the groundwork first. Some want the whole funding calendar handled. Flat prices for both.

Charitable Trust Setup

$1,449 flat, incl GST

Trust deed or society constitution tailored to your group, Companies Office incorporation filing, and full Charities Services registration support through to approval. Lawyers charge $2,000+. Most funders won't even look at you until this is done.

Ask about trust setup

Funding Platform Build

$2,449 flat, incl GST

A simple 4–6 page website with an impact page, accountability page and donation capability wired in, plus a grant-readiness content pack. Delivered in 2 weeks. For every group that keeps getting asked "do you have a website?"

Funding Desk

$349/mo

Your funding team on retainer. We watch every deadline that fits your organisation and write every application, up to 2 per month. One typical grant win repays a year of it.

Straight answers

Questions we get every week

Can you guarantee my grant gets approved?

No, and no one can. Funders make their own decisions and every round is competitive. What we can tell you honestly: every Lottery application we have written has been funded, and every pack we deliver is built to the standard that record was earned on. You pay for the application, not the outcome.

What exactly do I get for $249?

A complete, submission-ready application pack for the fund you chose: every question answered in your organisation's voice, a costed budget, outcomes framed the way that funder assesses them, and a checklist of the attachments they'll ask for. You review it, then lodge it.

Why do I have to submit it myself?

Funders require the applicant organisation to lodge through its own account, usually RealMe. That keeps you on the record as the applicant, which is exactly where you should be. Our involvement is disclosed to funders. We write; you approve and send.

Is it really the same price for every fund?

Yes. A $2,000 local board ask and a $50,000 Lottery ask both cost $249 flat, GST included. No hourly billing, no success fees, no percentage of your grant. Flat pricing is the whole point.

I don't know which fund fits my group. What now?

Email romero@kig.co.nz with two sentences about your organisation and what you need money for. You'll get a straight answer about which fund on this page is your best shot, at no charge.

We're not a registered charity or society yet. Can we still apply?

Most funders on this page require a registered charitable trust or incorporated society. If you're not there yet, the $1,449 Trust Setup Pack gets you registered and eligible. That one step unlocks every fund above.

Ready when you are

The deadlines don't wait. Neither should you.

Local board rounds close 24 July. Lottery closes 18 August. Pick your fund, pay $249, and have the whole application written in 3 working days.
