Movie star Paul Newman's 2008 charity campaign will see NZ$100,000 donated to New Zealand charities.
The Newman's Own Foundation was formed in 1984 with the purpose of allocating the profits from sales of Paul Newman's products to charity groups worldwide.
This year the Newman's Own Foundation will allocate up to NZ$20,000 to each successful charity and submissions for funding can be made from April 1.
Last year 13 New Zealand charities benefited from the scheme, including Allergy New Zealand, Debra NZ, and YouthLine.
Anyone wishing to nominate a charity should visit Paul Newman's NZ website for further details.
