Are you desperately trying to get on with your creative project but hindered by lack of money?

 

Council administers the Creative Communities Scheme that provides funding for arts and cultural projects in our district. The money comes from a national arts body, Creative New Zealand.

 

All funding applications go through to the Creative Communities allocation committee in our district. The committee is allocated $23,000 each year to distribute to the community.

Application forms are available from your local Council office or you can download them below. Your application is assessed by a committee made up of members nominated from the community. You will be informed whether or not your application was successful within six weeks of the closing date.

Fundview is a national funding information database where you can find which other funding organisations may financially support your project. You can access this database at your local library.
