If you are trying to source extra funding to help toward providing a service to the community or a community project, then Hastings District Council invites you take advantage of its Community Grants funding round. The Council provides financial assistance for sports, the arts, community groups and projects that are providing services or activities of benefit to residents of the Hastings district. Priority will be given to applications from those groups which: |
 |
- Show local initiative and participation
- Benefit a large cross-section of the community
- Show that the service or project contributes to the outcomes of Council's Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP)
- Show they have sought and are receiving funding from other sources and not relying solely on the Council to fund the project
- Have a sound base for their administration and on-going programme
