Deadline: 16-Oct-20
The Working Together More Fund (WTMF) is seeking applications to fund New Zealand community organisations to work together in order to make a greater difference for the people and communities they serve.
WTMF grants cannot be used to support existing operational expenses. Grants are to support additional costs you may incur in developing new or improving existing collaborations, and/or mergers of two or more organisations. This could include meeting or facilitation costs to bring groups together to kick start a collaboration in its early formation.
Funding Information
- Grants generally range between $1,000 and $30,000
- If you are applying for funds towards a larger scale project, the committee will need to see from where supplementary funds are being sourced.
Criteria
To be eligible, applications need to meet the following criteria. Please note funds are generally not granted for ongoing operational costs – unless it would significantly add collaborative value to your work.
- The lead applicant must be a non-profit legal entity registered with the Charities Service or as an Incorporated Society
- At least one other non-profit partner organisation or group is, or will be, involved in the initiative
- Participants are able to demonstrate how they will accomplish high-quality collaboration
- The collaborative initiative or merger will result in identifiable benefits to participating organisations or groups and the communities they serve
- Grants will not be approved for political organisations, groups involved in promoting religion, overseas-based groups, initiatives delivered to overseas communities, or for overseas travel.
WTMF will not support events or conferences – unless their focus is ongoing collaboration and a strong likelihood exists that a significant increase in ongoing collaboration will result.
