Community Assistance Funding for 2009/10

Related links

Nelson City Council has allocated its Contract Funding and One-off Grants from the Community Assistance Fund following two days of hearings and deliberations.

Recipients of the funding are not-for-profit organizations that provide services to the Nelson community across a wide range of sectors. A full list is included below.

The fund is intended to support those organizations that are providing services in line with the Council's own objectives as developed through long term planning with the Nelson Community. It is recognized that by developing partnerships and investing in not-for-profit groups the Council can help to attract additional funding into the community from Central Government and other funding agencies.

Mayor Kerry Marshall says "I'd like to thank all the groups for the effort they put into their applications and all those who took the time to come and speak to the Council. Through these applications we've gained a great insight into the excellent work that is happening in all sectors of the community and we've done our best to support it as much as possible," Mayor Marshall says.
