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
