Creative Communities New Zealand Grants Scheme

The Creative Communities Scheme supports and encourages local communities to create and present diverse opportunities for accessing and participating in arts activities within their specific geographical area, as well as for defined communities of interest. Under the scheme, “the arts” is defined as “all forms of creative and interpretative expression”

An application can be from an individual or from a group. Individual applicants must be New Zealand citizens or permanent residents. If you’ve previously received funding under the Creative Communities Scheme, either as an individual or as a member of a group, you must have completed a project report for the earlier project before any further applications from you will be considered.
