Social Impact Grants now open
Kāpiti Coast District Council has funding available through its Social Investment programme to assist not-for-profit organisations to establish and implement local initiatives that generate positive impacts for the Kāpiti district.
The Social Impact Grants have:
- $320,000 available for initiatives in the whole district; and
- $50,000 for Ōtaki based initiatives.
Applications for this year’s funding round close at 5pm Wednesday, 23 February 2022.
The following initiatives may qualify for funding:
- implementation of community COVID-19 responsiveness plans
- iwi, hapū, community hubs and collaborative impact initiatives
- initiatives that support and strengthen social cohesion and generate positive impacts for communities
- initiatives that support and promote communities to support emerging issues for the district
- seeding and pilot initiatives that address community priorities.
The Social Impact Grants provide one-off funding to Iwi, hapū and community organisations. This is different to the Social Investment Fund, which provides funding for a period of three-years and will open for applications in April.
