Annual Plan Funding Requests

Please note: Applications for Annual Plan 2023/24 funding have now closed.

Council has a range of community grant funding options available. These are:

• Community Development Fund
• Creative Communities Fund
• Event Fund
• Representative Fund

If your request does not qualify for any of the above funds you should consider asking for your initiative to be included in Council’s Annual Plan for 2023/24.

Annual Plan funding requests open 1 August 2022 and close 30 September 2022.

Council will consider all requests as it reviews its budget for 2023/24. This review occurs September - December 2022.

All organisations who have made a request will have the opportunity to present their request to Council in person. Due to Local Government elections in October 2022 these hearings will be scheduled for early November. We will be in touch when the date has been set.

If you have any questions regarding this process please email to stacey.eagle@mdc.govt.nz

Remember that any funding granted to your organisation by Council will not be available until the beginning of the 2023/24 financial year (1 July 2023).
