Creative Communities Scheme and Single-Year Community Grants are now open for applications. This is the second funding round this year and we're excited to see what creative and community projects we can support.

Get funding for your creative project

We’re looking for projects that either encourage participation within the local community, support diversity, or enable young people under 18 to get involved with the arts. Creative Communities Scheme funding is open for applications now until 10 September 2025. Learn more here.

We want to support our communities

Single-Year Community Grants support not-for-profit community organisations that deliver services, programmes and activities that benefit the social, cultural and environmental wellbeing of communities in Matamata-Piako. Single-Year Community Grants are also open for applications until 10 September 2025. Learn more here.
