You need the support of an incorporated organisation to apply for Connecting Neighbours Grants of more than $250.

Your support organisation will need to:

• Take responsibility for guiding the project
• Sign an agreement with Council
• Agree to cover the event or activity under their insurances
• Invoice Council, and receive and manage the grant funds
• Work with the person submitting the application to write a report to acquit the grant.

Examples of suitable support organisations could include your local neighbourhood or community centre, a sports group, club or other community organisation.

We may be able to help you find a support organisation if you don't have one for your project. Get in touch by email and we will be in contact.

We also welcome larger organisations that would like to be connected with a neighbourhood project to contact us.

Confirmation of support

You will need to attach a letter from the support organisation that confirms they will take responsibility for the project and manage the grant funds. It must also clearly show the name, position, contact details and signature of the support organisation's authorised representative.
