Rates grants applications due |
APPLICATIONS for rates grants are currently being accepted by the Manawatu District Council. The rates grants provide financial assistance, specifically for the purpose of paying rates, to pre-school education centres and sporting and other non-profit organisations in the community.
Democracy Support Officer, Sarah Anderton, said the Community Development Funding Policy featured five levels of assistance ranging from up to 25 percent credit of general rates (calculated on a pro-rata basis), plus service charges, and up to 100 percent credit of total rates (calculated on a prorata basis). “Criteria and conditions are fairly rigid and applications are strictly for non-profit organisations,” she said.
Application forms are available from the Manawatu District Council Offices, Manchester Street, Feilding, or on the council website here. Applications close on Wednesday, March 31. |
The Ministry of Civil Defence has launched a new website as part of their 'Get Ready Get Thru' campaign, which is designed to boost public awareness and understanding of the need to prepare to face disasters by having a plan, and storing water and other things you'll need in an emergency.
