Creative New Zealand supports community involvement in community arts and cultural activities and each year we are provided with funding to distribute to these projects.

There are two funding rounds a year. There is no maximum amount you can apply for, however grants usually range between $500 - $5,000.

There's an application guide to download and read which will give you all the information you need before you start.
