Your one stop guide for Community Funding


Your one stop guide for Community Funding


We've put together a guide to help community groups and organisations find funding sources and provide some basic application tips.

The Community Funding Guide has a list of general funding sources, many of which are from national sources but are available to the wider Waikato area including Thames-Coromandel district.

"Finding the right funding for your organisation can be time consuming.But by putting it all in to one place we are hoping more groups and organisations will be able to access funding," says Community Development Officer Marlene Perry.

We have endeavoured to ensure that the information is accurate at the time of publication; however criteria, priorities and dates can change so we do advise that the funders are contacted directly or their websites are checked for full details before making an application.

The booklet has categories to assist groups and a short guide to the criteria/eligibility, purpose and objective of the funds, with contact details and some basic application tips which may be useful for any incoming committees to assist with the planning and application process.

"Taking time to go through the booklet is advisable with some funds being quite broad-purpose, and may fit your organisation in an area you had not thought of," says Ms Perry.

Some of the categories included are:

Aged Care
Arts
Community Groups
Education and Training
Health and Disability
Maori
Research
Social, Sports and Recreation
Tourism
Women
Youth and Family
One of the funds available is the Ronald Woolf Memorial Trust which is a fund to assist young people in photography. To read more about this fund or to download a copy of the Community Funding Guide see our website.

The US Senate Budget Committee and Bloomberg News don't think this is a good idea, for reasons set out below. Regardless, our coalition government has been burning through a ton of political capital by giving landlords a huge $2.9 billion tax break via interest deductibility, while still preaching the need for austerity to the disabled, and to everyone else...
