Applications for Auckland Council’s Ngā Hapori Momoho / Thriving Communities Grants are open and local groups are being encouraged to apply.
A $295,000 funding pool is available to support community-led projects that help build inclusive and vibrant communities.
Councillor Julie Fairey, deputy chair of the council’s community committee, encourages organisations that want to make a real difference to their community to apply.
“These grants are for regionally significant groups, services, events and activities that will benefit residents across Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland.
“The grants focus on increasing the ability for Aucklanders to participate fully in our city, by increasing whanau and community financial security, improving health outcomes, and growing community and intercultural connection.”
Grants of up to $30,000 are available for projects that help support thriving communities, with applications open until January 31 next year.
