Over the last six weeks the team at Otago Community Trust have been working behind the scenes updating and refreshing the Trust website.

The main aim of our new changes is to make it easier for you to find information on who, what and how we fund. 

While we have not changed our web application framework, we have opted to modernise the overall appearance of the website, streamline content in a number of areas and integrating the wider use of te reo Māori across our site, respecting our commitment to the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

So while our website's functionality and code remain largely unchanged, for users it will have a slightly new look. Key things to note:

• Direct access to the Otago Community Trust grants portal is still available via the yellow 'Apply/Login Here' button in the top right corner 
• New "Welcome" landing pages in multiple different languages including New Zealand Sign Language
• A new Investment page has been added that details our Statement of Investment Policies and Objectives (SIPO)
• New landing pages on our four new Funding Pillars 
• Additional content throughout our 'Resources' section

• Design improvements throughout the site

Feedback Welcome

The team would love to hear what you think of the site refresh. We will be continuing to update and add content as per normal. 

If you have any feedback or questions, please get in touch - melanie@oct.org.nz or 0800 10 12 40.
