Are you looking for a job? If so, why don't you consider working with Parachute in their offices? For more information about the jobs that are currently available, visit here. They often look for office assistants, and managers for certain aspects of the work that Parachute does as a whole. Requirements and more information is provided at the site.

Are you a starting artist, or group, that has a desire to grow but is hampered by lack of financial resources? Parachute Music and World Vision have joined together to form a recording grant, to assist Kiwi artists. Each grant is worth $1000, and a maximum of 10 grants will be given out a year. Applications are revised every three months, and artists will be notified promptly as to whether they have been successful or not.
