COMMUNITY GRANTS
Waipa District Council administers two grants for funding community organisations and their activities.
COMMUNITY BOARD DISCRETIONARY GRANTS
Community grants are designed to allow non-profit groups in the community to achieve their goals where this would not otherwise have been possible due to lack of resources. Grants are primarily allocated for operational expenses.
CREATIVE COMMUNITIES SCHEME
Purpose of Fund:
Waipa District Council has a partnership with Creative New Zealand to promote, support and increase the arts and cultural activities in the Waipa District. Any group, organisation or individual can apply. Some projects funded are: festivals, workshops, dance with art/cultural focus, music groups and theatre groups.
The Creative Communities Scheme grants are allocated by the Community Arts Councils in Te Awamutu and Cambridge and they can be contacted for any queries.
DISTRICT PROMOTION FUND
The District Promotion is aimed at supporting events that benefit the residents and ratepayers of Waipa District.
Sponsorship is targeted for events based entirely in Waipa District. Successful applications are likely to be large scale, public events targeting national or international markets or medium sized public events which have a strong regional focus.
The current funding round is open to events that are scheduled to take place up to 30 June 2008.
