Ruapehu Community Development and Pride of Place Fund

Dates

No fixed rounds: apply any time.

What it funds

• Initiatives by community and voluntary organisations that support a proud, connected Ruapehu
• Community halls (at least $10,000 is ring-fenced)

What it will not fund

Not published.

Good to know

Apply early, as funding stops once the year's money is used. The page does not list exclusions; read the policy first. Arts has its own Creative Communities Scheme.

Applications are accepted at any time and reviewed monthly until the year's funding is fully allocated.

Checklist

What Ruapehu Pride of Place says you need:

• Application form
• Agreement to account for funds
• Certificate of expenditure

Common things funders ask for, worth having ready:

• What exactly is the money for, and when will you spend it?
• How much do you need, and do you have quotes under three months old?
• Who benefits, and how many people?
• Your legal name, registration number and bank account in the group's name.
• A committee or board decision approving the application (some funders want a signed resolution).
• Your latest financial statements or annual return.
• Other funders you have applied to for the same thing.
