Equity Funding
Emails have been sent out to centres who received Equity Funding in the last financial year with a link to an online survey that asks you to report on what the funding was spent on and why it was spent that way. Please complete this as soon as possible to ensure that we can report to the Ministry of Education in a timely manner.
Funding Directories
Funding Directories are available for all regions across the country – Northland; Auckland (currently being updated); Waikato; Bay of Plenty; Taranaki; Gisborne; Hawke’s Bay; Manawatū/Wanganui; Wellington; Marlborough; Tasman; West Coast; Canterbury; Otago; Southland.
Email [email protected] for your copy.
While every effort has been made to ensure information given is correct at the time of publication, funding availability and other details may change frequently.
COGS – National
Opens on 17 April and closes 15 May. There are a handful of Centres that are incorporated and can apply to COGS. I will send an email to these Centres shortly as a reminder to apply. https://www.communitymatters.govt.nz/community-organisations-grants-scheme/
At this stage, it is not possible for other centres to become incorporated and apply to COGS.
