The second round of the Community Resilience Fund is now
open for applications for sport and recreation organisations
experiencing financial hardship between 1 July and 30
September 2020.
“The fund opens today for five weeks
– closing on September 6. The amount awarded will be
decided on a case-by-case basis up to a maximum of $25,000
per organisation,” Grant Robertson said.
“The
funding is part of the $265 million Sports Recovery Package
announced at Budget 2020.
“As New Zealand rebuilds
post Covid-19, we know that many sport and recreations
organisations are still going through a difficult time. This
fund will support a wide range of organisations with their
fixed and operational costs over the coming
months.
“The criteria has been loosened since the
previous round of Community Resilience Fund was allocated,
with organisations no longer required to be affiliated to
Sport NZ national partners in order to be eligible. The
money can also now be used for a broader range of costs
including operational and administrative costs,” Grant
Robertson
said.
