What they care about
This fund supports ethnic communities in the Western Bay of Plenty to celebrate and share their arts, culture, customs, and traditions through grants for activities that celebrate cultural arts.
Writing tips
The funder uses 'ethnic communities' to include migrants, former refugees, long-term settlers, and multi-generational New Zealanders who identify as African, Asian, Pasifika, continental European, Latin American, or Middle Eastern. Frame applications around 'celebrating and sharing' cultural arts.
Common mistakes to avoid
Applications will not be considered where the organisation intends to make a profit from the activity being funded. Activities taking place in Tauranga are not eligible. Projects must not have started before funding decisions are advised.
What makes a strong application
Projects with a clear start and finish date that take place within the Western Bay of Plenty District (outside Tauranga) and demonstrate community benefit are funded. Both for-profit and not-for-profit organisations may apply as long as the funded activity itself is not profit-generating.
