About funding and grants
Council appreciates the work done by the voluntary sector in the Whangarei District, and supports it by contributing to community organisations through its 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 Council is able to afford, and it is necessary to evaluate which projects it will contribute to and how it will administer the funding to achieve the best outcomes for the district.
Community Funding Guide
The Community Funding Guide provides guidelines to 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 Funding Guide covers Council's financial year (1 July to 30 June). It provides assistance to the applicant and has information about:
- funds available
- how much is available in each fund
- application closing dates
- eligibility
- assessment and approval process
- funding conditions.
- tips on completing funding applications
- access to other funding databases
- uplifting your grant.
Applicants should read this document thoroughly before completing an application form.
Links to all current application forms are available in the Funding Calendar.
