Not-for-profit groups are being invited to apply for funding through Whakatāne District Council’s Annual Grants Scheme.
Previously successful applicants have sought funding for things like travel costs, conference fees, overheads, wages, and building lease costs.
Most community groups and voluntary organisations based in the district and providing a service to the public are eligible to apply for the grants, though sporting and cultural organisations are encouraged to seek funding from alternative sources such as SportNZ and Creative NZ.
