Eligibility Criteria - Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

The Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board offers financial support to individual young people, to participate in opportunities that demonstrate excellence, commitment and benefit to the individual and their wider community..

Please note:

Applications must be completed by individual applicants. Where there are three or more applications received from members of one group (team or school), the application will automatically become a group application to the Discretionary Response Fund, and the grant will be paid in one lump sum to the bank account of the group. The Fund does not generally fund 'school teams' or curricular based activity (unless they have been select to represent New Zealand at an international level).

  • Applications will be considered from individuals who are primarily residing in the Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote area.
  • Applications will be received from young people in Year Nine at school, to 21 years of age.
  • Projects must have obvious benefits for the young person and the wider community.
  • Only one successful application is permitted per year (July to June). A second application will only be accepted in exceptional cases.
  • Financial considerations will be taken into account, and require:
    • a letter of recommendation which outlines the need for the application
    • state what the consequence of not receiving funding would be in the About you section of the application form.
  • Funding is limited to two grants per individual in total. Any further applications are then at the discretion of the Community Board, and will require further evidence of financial need.
  • Applicants are expected to provide evidence of other fund-raising activities being undertaken, to demonstrate the applicant is not relying solely on Community Board support.
  • Applications for assistance with career development costs will not be accepted.
  • Retrospective applications will not be considered. Applications should be submitted at least six weeks prior to the activity/event taking place.
  • Successful applicants must report back to the Community Board by submitting an Accountability Report about their experience, and if possible attend a Community Board meeting.
