So you may remember that Canterbury received some $65m from grant making organisations last year. The last post looked at where the money has come from, but it’s pretty interesting to look where it goes to.
Again, anyone surprised? I know I was! Of course, there are plenty of other sources of money for the entities that get the funds: private, central government contracts and crowd funding. But this is a pretty interesting view of those grants which can be applied for, and where the money goes.
Looking at this cut:
I have then cut the data to look at where its gone to by sector. This breaks down the money given by funder. I think that its pretty interesting to see who gives what to each sector – and quite interesting to see the stand out sector getting funds.

Looking at this cut:
- Sport accounts for just under a third of the grants made:
- 15% of grants are going into Community and Economic Development:
- 12% of grants are going into Social Services:
- Arts takes 12% of the grants.

So – how does this look? Do you think it reflects what we, as a society, value?
