Auckland Council is inviting applications from sports organisations keen to receive a share of $3.2 million in funding designed to encourage greater participation in community sport and recreation activities.
Applications for the three-year (2024-2027) funding round open on February 12 and close on March 24.
A committee will make funding decisions in July.
Those eligible include community groups with a sport/recreation focus, national or regional sport/recreation organisations, iwi, schools, universities or religious groups with sport/recreation facilities open to the community, and commercial entities operating sport/recreation facilities that directly benefit the wider community.
Council’s active communities general manager Dave Stewart says a grant could be used for example for funding unexpected one-off maintenance or repair costs, ensuring the facility breaks even, for long term maintenance funding or for caretakers’ salaries.
