Closes

Who can apply

Read on the Paraparaumu Community Board's page (representative of the pattern across all five boards), quoted verbatim: eligible organisations "provide cultural, sports, environmental or social services" to their local community, must be "non-profit making," and must not have "received financial assistance from the Community Grants Fund in the last twelve months."

Amount

Up to $750 per application (Paraparaumu Discretionary Grants Fund; other boards may set different caps)

Check the relevant board's own page for its specific criteria.
