Sorted Money Month

Sorted Money Month kicks off in August. We’re looking for partners across the financial sector to help us share valuable information and tools to help New Zealanders maximise their money.

Money Month is a public awareness and engagement campaign coordinated by Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission, in partnership with the financial capability community. Throughout August, we will be focusing on helping New Zealanders to maximise their money in a way that’s empowering and relevant in the current climate, as well as adaptable for partners to use.

The campaign is aligned to the National Strategy for Financial Capability’s purpose - working together to help demystify money.

We encourage all National Strategy partners, workplaces, schools and kura to take part to help New Zealanders better understand money and improve their financial wellbeing.

The Community fund is back again to help community partners reach more people throughout Aotearoa during Money Month!

Let us know your ideas for events or other initiatives focused on helping your local communities to maximise their money and we can help you bring this to life during August. A share of $8000 is available for not-for-profit organisations to apply for.

Successful recipients of the community fund will also receive a helpful event marketing and communications guide, and we will be hosting a webinar in June to provide more support and help with ways to promote your event or initiative.

Send your application form to rachel@retirement.govt.nz by Friday 23 June 2023.

All successful applications will be notified on Monday 3 July 2023.

An event calendar will be up on Sorted.org.nz to promote events and initiatives taking place during Sorted Money MonthThe calendar provides an easy way for New Zealanders to check out what’s on during Money Month and get involved!

The Sorted team will promote the Money Month event calendar throughout July and August through social media and a marketing campaign.
