Calling for applications to the volunteering fund
Calling for applications to the volunteering fund
Community and Voluntary Sector Minister Jo Goodhew is calling for applications for this year’s Support for Volunteering Fund.
“The fund provides over $502,000 each year to projects and organisations that promote and support volunteering in New Zealand,” says Mrs Goodhew.
“The funding is divided between Volunteering New Zealand, regional volunteer centres and selected projects in the volunteer sector.
“We are looking to fund projects
promoting information sharing, networking and development of
resources that support Māori, Pacific and ethnic
volunteering.
“We’re also interested in projects
responding to specific cultural values and needs or
encouraging, recognising and promoting volunteers as
community leaders.”
Organisations applying for funds
are required to have legal entity status, appropriate
governance and management structures and processes in
place.
Further information about the Support for
Volunteering Fund and application forms are available at
www.communitymatters.govt.nz or calling 0800 824 824.
Applications close Wednesday 7 May
2014.
