The ĀTA Adventure Therapy Aotearoa Grant was established in 2020 by Adventure Therapy Aotearoa Inc. for members of ĀTA.

The grant recognises the achievements and potential of adventure, nature, and experiential based therapy practitioners by providing an opportunity to undertake research or professional development within New Zealand Aotearoa or internationally.

The purpose of this grant is to promote development in the field of adventure therapy. This will be done by financially supporting either the professional development of established practitioners or supporting individuals taking on research in the adventure therapy field, to benefit the collective knowledge of The Adventure Therapy community in Aotearoa New Zealand.

A maximum of NZ$2000 a year; confirmed at the absolute discretion of the leadership group annually as funds allow, will be available to be distributed amongst successful applicants. If there are multiple applications please be aware that the panel may make the decision to fund part of the amount you have requested.

This year we have opened the grants in time to support people to attend the ĀTA conference. Application outside of this that match the grant application will also be considered.

Please go to the members section for a grant application or email Kelly kelly.ohagan.ata@gmail.com
