What they care about
Priority will be given to projects that make a real, measurable impact in reducing waste, focus on waste reduction or reuse over recycling, introduce a brand-new waste minimisation activity or significantly expand an existing one, are led by people with the skills and resources to follow through, and have clear goals and a solid plan to achieve them.
Writing tips
Applications should align with the Nelson Tasman Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and demonstrate how waste will be avoided or diverted from landfill. Incorporating Te Ao Māori values such as kaitiakitanga is encouraged.
Common mistakes to avoid
Applications that fail to provide adequate accountability information for previous funding applications, request funding for activities already completed, or seek funding for projects outside the Tasman district without a clear benefit to Tasman residents are likely to be rejected.
What makes a strong application
Successful projects typically demonstrate a clear plan to achieve waste minimisation goals, show potential for long-term sustainability, and involve skilled and resourceful leaders.
