AWARDS & GRANTS

Administered by the Waitaki District Council

The Waitaki District Council administer a range of grants and awards for groups and individuals.
 
Some grants are administered on behalf of other organisations, others are Council funds.
 
We have produced a pamphlet (Acrobat pdf format) to provide information to groups and individuals. Grants and awards.pdfGrants and awards.pdf

 

Other funding options

If you or your group does not meet the criteria for any of the grants listed, we still may be able to assist you.
Council has access to Fundview along with the Oamaru Public Library, Citizens Advice Bureau and Waihemo Service Centre.
Fundview is a nationwide database for funding available and we are more than happy to guide you and your organisation to a scheme that could be of benefit to you

Fantastic Funding Folder

This document has been put together to make the process of seeking funding easier for your organisation. All you need is your own folder, then this document will prompt you to insert your organisation’s information into your folder to make it your customised funding resource, helping your committee members to complete applications quickly and efficiently.
 
It may take a little time to customise your Fantastic Funding Folder. Work through page by page to find out and gather what’s required. Once your folder is complete, everything you need for funding applications will be together, in one place, and the process of submitting an application won’t seem as daunting. For best results, review the folder every year, making sure all the information is current.
