Deadline: 27-Aug-21
The Auckland Foundation is seeking applications for its North Shore Fund to support those smaller but essential local organisations who are strengthening community networks.
The North Shore Fund awards funds to registered charities and incorporated societies, and prioritises small organisations with high voluntary content, rather than larger externally funded service providers.
Funds will be granted to projects and programmes that clearly meet the purpose(s) of:
- addressing social disadvantage;
- promoting general health and wellbeing; and/or
- strengthening community networks.
Funding Information
- Grant requests of up to $10,000 will be considered.
Eligibility Criteria
- Applications will be considered for the following grant requests:
- Programme costs, including salaries/wages directly applicable to programme delivery
- Operational costs
- Please note that if you are applying for salaries or wages, this must relate to activity that the employee(s) is delivering in the North Shore region only.
- For organisations that work across the Auckland region, a grant can only cover the costs of programme delivery specifically in the North Shore region.
Exclusions
Grants will not be awarded for the following:
- Projects outside the North Shore region
- Loan & endowment funds
- Social enterprise
- Business or investment capital
- Venture capital initiatives
- Establishment of charities
- Individuals
- Retrospective applications (i.e. if you are seeking funding for an event that will take place before November 2021, or for purchases/expenses that need to be covered before November 2021, then this will not be eligible)
- Overseas travel, expenses or exchange programmes.
