The French residency is jointly supported by the French Embassy in New Zealand, the Randell Cottage Writers Trust and the Arts Foundation of New Zealand via a sub-Trust established by the France New Zealand Friendship Fund. It is the welcome result of an extensive project to offer a counterpart to the Katherine Mansfield Fellowship in Menton, France, which has supported many of the great names of New Zealand literature.
