The Search and Rescue Fund focuses on training volunteers. We prioritise funding for targeted, skills-based short awards (under 40 credits each), including micro-credentials.
We fund the Ministry of Transport to provide search and rescue training to learners who are nominated by New Zealand Search and Rescue (NZSAR), or by NZSAR-recognised organisations. NZSAR provides strategic leadership to the New Zealand Search and Rescue sector, and works alongside organisations and individuals that provide search and rescue services.
