Sports Development grants. The grants are intended for sports and recreation organisations in Wellington so they can receive professional advice and support for enhancing their strategic management. The updated application form and guide will be available from the website shortly.
Built Heritage Incentive Fund. The grants help with conserving, restoring and protecting Wellington's built heritage. The grants also help meet some of the additional costs associated with owning and caring for a heritage property.
Community Preparedness Grant. Community Preparedness Grants can help you organise a local project for your neighbourhood, so that if anything happens you are best placed to help each other. A resilient community is one that knows each other and is ready to help when things go wrong.
Community Venue Assistance Fund. Community venue assistance will assist with creating community space and venues where services and activities contribute to social well-being.
And just a reminder;
