We appreciate the work done by the voluntary sector in the Whangarei district, and support it by contributing to community organisations through our community funding.
This funding covers a wide range of community development projects, capital development projects, social service and programme delivery.
Each year, there are more requests for funding than money available, and we have to evaluate which projects we will contribute to and how we will administer the funding to achieve the best outcomes for the district.
Community Funding Guide
The Community Funding Guide provides guidelines for community organisations on how support and assistance can be obtained from us for projects they are planning, and also what form the assistance might take i.e. grants or loans.
The guide covers the financial year (1 July to 30 June) and contains information about:
- funds available
- how much is available in each fund
- application closing dates
- eligibility
- assessment and approval process
- funding conditions
- access to other funding databases.
Applicants should read this document thoroughly before completing an application form.
