Deadline: 31-Aug-20
Auckland Foundation is currently inviting applications for its North Shore Fund 2020.
The North Shore Fund awards funds to registered charities and incorporated societies, and prioritises small organisations with high voluntary content, rather than larger externallyfunded 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.
Projects must be within one or more of the four North Shore local boards, or be for the benefit of the community within the area(s) of:
- Devonport-Takapuna
- Kaipatiki
- Upper Harbour
- Hibiscus and Bays
Preference will be given to projects that are community-led and build a community’s own capacity to lead change.
Funding Information
- Grant requests of up to $10,000 will be considered.
Timeframe
- Grants are provided as one-off support for 1 year.
- Organisations may re-apply to consecutive granting rounds; however, support will only be provided for a maximum of 3 years.
Eligibility Criteria
Applications will be considered for the following grant requests:
- Programme costs, including salaries/wages directly applicable to programme delivery
- 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 cannot 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 2020, or for purchases/expenses that need to be covered before November 2020, then this will not be eligible)
- Overseas travel, expenses or exchange programmes
