Funding opportunities for local non-profit organisations

Funding opportunities for local non-profit organisations

Applications for funding from the community grants schemes administered by Horowhenua District Council have opened.

The Horowhenua Community Development Grant, Community Consultation Grant and the Creative Communities Grant invites applications for round two of the 2015/2016 financial year, closing at 5pm on Monday 29 February.

The Community Development Grant provides local non-profit organisations with funding for events, projects and operating costs. $25,000 is available in this funding round.

The Community Consultation Grant provides funding to resident and ratepayers associations. $5000 is available in this round.

And, the Creative Communities Grant is a national scheme, funded by Creative New Zealand and administrated by local government authorities. It provides arts funding to local groups and individuals. $15,325 is available in this round.

Applications for all of the grant schemes must be for projects or costs that begin from April 2016 onwards.

Horowhenua District Mayor Brendan Duffy says that all three community grant schemes are a vital contributor to not-for-profit organisations operating in the District.

“We have a tireless volunteer community here. November’s Civic Honours awards ceremony was an excellent reflection of that. These grants are just one way we operate to support the immeasurable work of our non-profit sector on an ongoing basis,” Mayor Duffy said.
