Multi-Year Funding supports projects, programmes, and activities that benefit the Whakatāne District, its residents and its communities. Funding is for a three-year period, and organisations can apply for both operational costs and long-term projects. Priority is given to applications that deliver a clear benefit within the Whakatāne District.
The Multi-Year Fund is open for applications once every three years. The next funding round will be in late 2027.
This fund cannot be used for retrospective funding, wages and salaries, or short-term projects.
Funding is provided in annual instalments over the three-year period. Organisations are required to submit Accountability Reports for each annual instalment prior to receiving more funding.
