Would funding help your community project?
If you have a great idea that helps your community, like a horse-riding group for the disabled, a shared orchard for your neighbourhood, or an event that celebrates cultural diversity, it’s worth applying for a local board grant.
How to apply
Find out more about community grants and how to apply on our website or by calling 09 301 0101.
Building strong communities
Local board grants help build stronger communities by providing services and initiatives that positively impact Aucklanders.
Whether you need support on a one-off project, a start-up or an expansion, community funding acknowledges the contribution that you and your group or organisation are trying to make.
We support a wide range of initiatives in arts and culture, community development, environmental and natural heritage, historical heritage, events, and sports and recreation.
* Quick Response Grants are usually for applications less than $2000. Local Board Community Grants are for larger amounts.
