Community Grants are helping groups all over Tasman, and applications for this year’s funding round are now open.
One successful applicant from last year was the Moutere Hills Community Centre which was fortunate to gain two grants.
From the Arts, Culture, Heritage and Museums category, $782 was provided for the printing of a surveyor’s map historical panel which proudly hangs in the Centre’s foyer. They were also granted $2,900 from the Youth and Children’s category to help install a permanent community barbecue.
So, if your organisation has an exciting community project in the pipeline, a Community Grant could help make it happen. The criteria are broad and cover a range of categories including but not limited to service groups, festivals, and sports clubs through to welfare groups, arts, culture, heritage, and environmental organisations.
We’ll be looking at projects that are either Tasman-based or will help Tasman residents, meet a community need and have community support. Priority is given to projects that align with our community outcomes and can show financial support from other sources.
Groups can apply for funding to cover costs such as administration costs (limited), one-off projects, project development costs and service delivery costs.
The deadline for applications is 31 July. Find more details and apply here.(external link)
