Each year Creative New Zealand provides CCS funding to city and district councils throughout New Zealand to distribute in their area. The scheme supports more than 1,800 projects every year.
Each of the 3 District Councils in the Northland region administers it’s own Creative Communities Scheme funds. Applicants should apply to the District(s) where the project takes place.
The Creative Communities Scheme and Creative NZ contestable grants are one of the few funding sources that will fund individual applicants and non-registered groups.
