Community Group Assistance Funding (CGAF)

Introduction | Funding guidelines | Additional information | Community board area map | Funds allocated for 2008


Introduction

Auckland City Council recognises that community groups, through their diverse range of activities, make a major contribution to our multicultural city. The community group assistance fund was created to support the processes and activities that enable people to get together and work to improve their communities.

Funding is granted to increase community groups' capacity by building on their human resources, knowledge and expertise. Auckland City Council hopes that this will increase the opportunities and choices of people of all cultures and incomes in community services and facilities, cultural, leisure, sports and arts.

The priorities of the fund are:

  • to increase the number of people involved in community, sport and recreational activities
  • to promote and support diversity in terms of ethnicity, culture, age, ability and lifestyle
  • to encourage activities that allow communities to express their diversity
  • to assist activities that encourage and support volunteers
  • to support innovative approaches to meet new community needs
  • to support activities that address disadvantage or respond to particular needs
  • to assist sustainable groups that will be accountable for public monies.

Funds available for distribution

The total funding pool is $360,000. The average grant given is between $2,000 and $3,000.
