Lottery grants for disabled people

Grants funded by Lotto help to pay for equipment for eligible disabled people who want to be more closely involved in their communities.

About the fund

The Lottery Funding for Equipment for People with a Disability is available for eligible disabled people.

The fund is managed by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).

How it works

You can apply if your disability is a long-term (6 months or longer) limiting condition that affects your ability to take part in your community.

The grant is usually paid to the business supplying your equipment.

DIA’s Community Matters website has more information about:

  • who can apply
  • what equipment is funded
  • what documents are required.
