Kia ora Centres,
As we continue to transition to the new operating model, we want to assure you that everyone at the centres can still actively participate in the grant-writing process as long as all applications come via our team using the online form, link below.
https://www.playcentre.org.nz/grant-application-form/
(This form can also be found on the Playcentre website in the grants section and resource centre)
If your centre is planning to apply for a grant, please use the form and give details about the grant you are seeking. This form will be sent directly to the grants team, who will begin creating your grant project plan and identifying suitable funding options, if you haven’t already done so.
Please take note of the following:
We are still a small team and are working hard to process submissions within the required timeframe. The more information you provide us upfront, the smoother this process will be.
If the grant you are applying for does not require all sections to be filled out, such as a grant for First Aid training, simply write “n/a” in the boxes. The purpose of this online form is to facilitate communication between your centre and the grants team.
We are here to support you with best practices and to track applications on our end. This helps us stay on top of all ongoing grants and meet any reporting deadlines.
Are you interested in joining the grants writing team? If you enjoy grant writing and would like to be part of the team, please email Rachael or Tonya to express your interest, and we will follow up for a chat. Our team is growing, and we would like to offer these positions to you first. If you are already volunteering your time to grow your centres’ grants and are ready to take the next step, we would love to hear from you. [email protected] or [email protected].
