WHANGANUI COMMUNITY FOUNDATION PRIORITIES

Trustees of the Foundation have considered carefully how best to allocate funding so that the community benefits to the greatest extent. The following priorities have been developed:

 

1. Provision of professional development and capacity building activities for the community sector.
2. Welfare based projects that aim to promote intergenerational change rather than band aid solutions.  Youth and Family are seen as an important emphasis.
3. Existing well managed projects and programmes will be preferred over new initiatives
4. Respecting diversity in communities by ensuring that any allocations over and above 1,2 and 3 are spread across all sectors.
5. Projects of a capital nature will not be funded unless there is widespread and significant benefit to the community.
