Discussion
Community Funding structure
4. In
March 2013, the Regional Development and Operations Committee (RDOC) resolved
to continue the interim community funding approach while the community grants
policy was developed.
5. Two
community funding rounds have been held for Waitematā to date. The third
round closed on 06 March 2015.
6. Through the Local Board Community Grants Fund, the Waitematā
Local Board aims to assist community groups in their activities, projects,
programmes, initiatives and events that make a positive contribution within the
local area.
7. When reviewing applications, the local board should be guided by the
following criteria (these are not eligibility criteria; rather they are
guidelines to help the local board when considering the merits of each proposal):
· The
proposal’s alignment with Waitematā Local Board Plan priorities
· Ensuring
a range of community activities are supported at a local level
· Providing
seed funding to make things happen in community development
· Achieving
equitable distribution of funds across the board area
· Encouraging
community involvement and participation
· The
proposal’s alignment with the board’s priorities, such as
o supporting
vibrant, connected and sustainable communities
o a
distinctive, high-quality built environment that embraces its heritage
o connected,
healthy transport options
o places
for people
o an
innovative economic hub
o respecting
and enhancing natural environments.
8. With
regard to criteria, the local board specifies that grants are to be a minimum
of $500 and a maximum of $5000 (except in exceptional circumstances). No
grants are to be made retrospectively.
9. This fund is allocated at the local board’s discretion. In
accordance with its fiduciary duties, the local board is to act honestly, avoid
conflicts of interest and act in what the local board believes to be the best
interests of the community.
Community Funding
Budget
10. The
Waitematā Local Board has set a Local Board Community Funding budget of
$100,000 for the 2014/2015 financial year.
11. Grants
totaling $60,014 have been approved to date, leaving a balance of $39,986 for
the remaining round, which closed on 06 March 2015.
Consideration
Local Board views and implications
12. This
is the first opportunity for the local board to consider this information.
Māori impact statement
13. Community
funding is a general programme of interest and accessible to a wide range of
groups, including Maori. Maori are therefore likely to benefit alongside other
groups in the community.
General
14. The
allocation of grants to community groups is within the adopted annual plan.
15. The
decisions sought by this report do not trigger the
Auckland Council Significance Policy.
