Deadline: 30-Jun-21
Applications are invited for Hawke’s Bay Foundation Grant program from Community organisations within the Hawke’s Bay region.
They prefer to support initiatives that assist groups and communities who are working towards meeting their own needs and have sustainability when their Hawke’s Bay Foundation funding ceases.
The Hawke’s Bay Foundation considers funding for charitable groups that make a difference in the community, with focus areas on community connectedness; social development; health, children and youth issues; older adults; arts and culture and the natural environment.
Eligibility Criteria
- Community organisations can apply for any charitable purpose within the Hawke’s Bay region, as defined by the area within the jurisdiction of the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council – this includes Hastings District, Napier City, Wairoa District and Central Hawke’s Bay.
- Individuals cannot apply.
Guidelines
- A limit of $10,000 per donation unless approved by the Trustees.
- Applications will be considered for project costs and/or for general operating costs such as salaries/wages, rent etc.
- Organisations that are acting in a ‘pass through’ function, i.e. where funding is not being used by them but is being passed on to a third party, will not be funded.
- Approved donations will be paid by direct credit to a verified bank account.
- Donations must be used within 12 months of receipt unless prior arrangements are made with Hawke’s Bay Foundation. If necessary, an extension request may be submitted in writing, detailing the funds usage to date, and expected project completion date. Approval of any extension is not automatic and is at the discretion of the Hawke’s Bay Foundation.
- All organisations receiving funds are required to report back after 12 months on the use to which those funds have been put. Further applications for funding will not be accepted from any organisation that has not provided a satisfactory accountability report for a previous donation. Please note that this means that although an organisation has 12 months to spend the funds and supply a satisfactory accountability report, only those organisations who are able to do so prior to the closing date of the following year’s funding round (i.e. 10 June) will be able to apply in that year.
- Donations do not include GST.
