South Wairarapa District Council’s grants committee will meet next week to consider community and youth grant funding applications.
In the council’s Long-Term Plan, $170,000 was allocated for the 2022/23 year for community grants, and $75,000 for youth grants.
The amount actually available for distribution is $53,245 for community grants and $95,762 for youth grants.
The council said this was due to ongoing multi-year partnership agreements with organisations, grants not being uplifted by organisations, and carry-over funding from the 2021-22 financial year.
In this funding round, $94,447.75 has been requested for community grants and $106,817.75 for youth grants, so not all requests will be fulfilled.
The biggest community funding requests this round come from the Featherston Community Centre Charitable Trust [$25,000 for kitchen renovation] and Youthline [$12,000 for Wairarapa Youthline].
The council grant subcommittee will meet on September 7. – NZLDR
