The Auckland Council has launched the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Capability and Capacity Growing grant to support local community groups and organisations to build capacity and capability, upskill staff and volunteers and become more sustainable and able to attract diverse funding opportunities.
Goals

- promote partnerships
- increase sustainability
- support organisations to connect with each other and other funders

Funding Information

- You can receive this funding each year for up to three years and up to a total of $60,000 inclusive.
Funding Priorities
- They welcome applications where the strengthening of your group or organisation would help you to:
- activate and strengthen neighbourhood connections, particularly in areas where this is lacking
- encourage and support all community members to lead and get involved in activities using their diverse talents, insights and contributions to enable communities to achieve their goals
- improve young people’s sense of connection and wellbeing so that they are engaged in the community and have access to a wide range of opportunities

Outcomes
