Hastings Youth Grants

Kia ora! Are you ready to apply for a 2024 Youth Grant?

Hastings Youth Council is excited to be supporting rangatahi across our district. Funding is available to individuals, groups or Young Enterprise Scheme business groups – we’re backing YOUth.

Before you dive into your application, here’s a couple of details to get you started:

•    You can apply for a youth grant in one of three categories; individual, group/organization and Youth Enterprise Scheme.
•    In all three categories, you can apply for any amount up to $1000.
•    If you apply for an amount above $400, we may ask you for an in-person/digital interview. Individuals applying for an amount below $400 (without the interview) will be considered equally.

Timeline:
24th of June – Applications open
5th of August – Applications close
Selection and interview process (funding applications above $400) 26th of August – Grantees announced
