Hayseed Trust is a community organisation based in Napier that provides alternative education and support to 'at risk' youth. They have received COGS and Lottery Community grants in the past.
The Community Organisation Grants Scheme or COGS provides grants to non-profit organisations delivering community-based social services that contribute to achieving locally determined outcomes.
Te Puna Tahua, Lottery Grants Board is evolving the lottery grants and advisory support system to make it easier and fairer for communities, hapū and iwi to access funding. Learn more about Kia Tipu, He Tipua - Evolving the lottery grants system.
Key changes for the upcoming Lottery Community round are as follows:
Application and reporting: The application and reporting processes will be simpler with fewer questions.
Multi-year funding: Now available to apply for up to 2 years.
Budgets: Budgets will not be required for funding requests under $20,000. Any requests $20,000 or more will require a budget.
Capital works projects: Only one quote will be expected (this has been reduced from two).
Lottery Community grants are available for hapū, marae and not-for-profit organisations with a community or social service focus for ongoing operating costs or projects which help improve the quality of people's lives in their communities.
Unregistered or informal groups
There may be a pathway for your group to access funding. Please email us for advisory support at community.matters@dia.govt.nz.
