This booklet has been designed to assist community groups, organisations, schools and clubs that are seeking funding.
Accessing funding is one of the most important tasks that many community organisations will face. Funding is often crucial for organisations to continue their community work, or to develop and carry out projects.
This booklet provides tips about what information to provide and some ideas about where to apply for funding, and other helpful hints.

1. FUNDING APPLICATION TIPS 1.1 PLANNING
1. Develop a funding calendar, note when closing dates are and plan in advance.
2. Contact the organisation before you apply to check their current priorities.
3. Make sure the fund is the appropriate one for your requirements e.g. salary, uniforms, venue hire etc.
4. Always use the application form supplied by the funder.
5. Establish funding needs clearly.
6. Show the need for the project and that it has been planned carefully.
7. Make sure your application is prepared well in advance of the close off date. If possible, hand in your application before the closing date so if anything further is required there is time for the funder to contact you.
8. Complete all questions on the application form and include any attachments that are requested.
9. List other organisations that you have applied to for this project.
10. Attach a cover letter with your application form.
11. Provide letters of support or evidence of other wider community support. (examples of letters of support are attached in Section 5)
12. Get another person to read through your application to make sure it makes sense.
13. Ensure that if you have any questions regarding the application process you contact the funding provider.
14. Keep a copy of your application and accountability forms as part of your annual planning.
15. Ring the funder if your application isn’t acknowledged.
16. Be aware most funding schemes are wildly over-subscribed. If you are turned down, try again it doesn’t mean that your project is not worthy of funding it is often that other projects had higher priority. Review your application and work on how it can be improved to fit the criteria better.
17. Most funders require you to publically acknowledge their support. This can be done in many different ways e.g. their logo in your newsletter, thanks in annual report etc.
18. Make sure that the organisation agrees and understands the fundraising activity.
1.2 SETTING UP A FUNDING CALENDAR It can be a good idea to establish a funding calendar for your organisation. The calendar records funding opportunities and fundraising projects your organisation intends to undertake (with the starting
ERROR! REFERENCE SOURCE NOT FOUND.
DOC/12/102584 | 26 FEBRUARY 2015 Page 4 of 40
and end dates included). The calendar doesn’t have to be for 12 months; it can be set up for whatever period best suits your organisation. It could also record when accountability is due.
1.3 DEVELOPING AN APPLICATION FOR FUNDING A well-presented application is important. Most organisations require the following information and these suggestions can be altered to suit
your group and the funding body. If you have already developed a funding portfolio you can use the information that you have gathered:
Introduction – to your organisation, its staff and volunteers, services provided, community served, numbers etc.
Legal structure – are you an incorporated society or charitable trust or do you have an umbrella organisation willing to receive money on your behalf? Are you registered for GST?
The project – outline what your project seeks to address. (Enclose any needs analysis, evidence or statistics)
Objectives – note the objectives your organisation has for the project. These should be specific, achievable and able to be evaluated
Procedure – what, how and whom will implement the project Evaluation – explain how you intend to evaluate the project Budget – list all items of anticipated income and expenditure, including staff salaries and
administration costs. Note any other sources of funding which you have approached for this project and when you expect a response. Attach professional quotes.
Request – ask for a specific amount of money which is realistic in terms of the project budget and of the size of the grant usually made by the funding body. In many cases it will be less that the total expenses identified in the budget.
Contacts – list address and phone numbers of two people who can provide the funder with any further information or clarification and make sure these people are easily accessible.
Referees – list two or more from outside your own organisation who understand the project and support it
Attach any letters of support and other materials – press release, annual reports, brochures, annual accounts etc.
1.4 FUNDING APPLICATION CHECKLIST Be aware of the philosophy of the funding organisation, their criteria, priorities and the average
sized grant they make. Only apply for funding if you meet the eligibility criteria of the funding organisation; if in doubt ring
the funding organisation and ask. Stick to your priorities. Don’t significantly change your activities or project to meet requirements of a
funding provider. Be aware that networks between funding organisations and within communities are usually quite
good. If you haven’t got a good record, or you overstate your activities in an application, or you apply for funding when you do not meet the criteria, others are quite likely to find out.

DOC/12/102584 | 26 FEBRUARY 2015 Page 5 of 40
If you have applied to the organisation before and are using your funding calendar, check the closing date for applications, also that you have the correct application form.
Prepare your application well in advance and send it in early. Complete all the relevant sections on the application form. Attach all the documents you were asked to attach. Invite the funder to visit the project or to request further information. Answer all questions on funding application forms by following instructions and providing all
information. Mark any items you have excluded (or included as extras) in your funding application and footnote
them. Include any appropriate notes to budget explanations and breakdowns. List other organisations to whom you have applied and when you expect to hear back. Include, if you have them, 3-5 year development plans. If you need help developing a proposal, ask for it. Consider typing applications rather than hand-writing as typed script copies more clearly. Keep a copy of the application for your records. If you haven’t had an acknowledgement of your application 2-3 weeks after lodgement, ring the
funding organisation and check they have received it. Develop a funding calendar for your organisation which highlights all those funding bodies to whom
you can apply on an annual basis. Don’t forget to publicly acknowledge your funders.
1.5 FUNDING APPLICATIONS FOR SALARIES If applying for funding for salaries you will likely need to include the following with your application:
A current job description, signed, dated and less than 2 years old. A current employment contract.
1.6 COMMONLY REQUIRED APPLICATION INFORMATION Many funders will require similar information to be included with your application. It can be useful to keep this often required information routinely up to date so you can easily make funding applications. Keep a few copies on hand.
Commonly required items include:
Annual accounts Annual report Budget Brochure (outlining the general work of your group) Business plan Certificate of Incorporation History of your organisation

DOC/12/102584 | 26 FEBRUARY 2015 Page 6 of 40
Latest bank statement Letters of support List of trustees Newsletters Press clippings Tax exempt charitable status letter Trust deed or constitution Statistics
1.7 BUDGETS When setting up a budget you need to work out how much money your organisation will need and work out the running expenses you will have. What will you need to buy? Will you need money for professional help e.g. salaries, rent, stationery, power, printing, cleaning, transport, phone, auditing, special equipment, etc.?
Listed below are a few helpful tips on setting a budget for your funding project:
Set realistic project costs and provide a project plan (See attached a template for a project plan) Be specific about the money requested. Give a detailed breakdown of the project costs. Make sure you include administration costs as part of your funding request. Attach quotes from places you wish to buy goods from. The quotation must be official and someone
qualified to provide the goods or services.
1.8 COMMUNITY RESOURCES KIT The Community Resources Kit is a practical “hands-on” resource to help organisations to get started and to develop good practice in the voluntary sector environment. It replaces the old Community Development Resource Kit. It is available from Community Net Aotearoa - an information sharing resource for NZ community and voluntary groups. Here you'll find guides, news and tools for and by clubs, groups, charities, trusts, hapu and iwi.
For a full Community Resource Kit, check out: www.community.net.nz
1.9 GAMING FUNDING The Department of Internal Affairs manages information about gaming machine societies that distribute grants to community groups.
Here is the link for you to obtain a list of funders – www.dia.govt.nz
1.10 RAISING MONEY THROUGH MEMBERSHIP You may wish to consider the following:
ERROR! REFERENCE SOURCE NOT FOUND.
DOC/12/102584 | 26 FEBRUARY 2015 Page 7 of 40
Membership Fees – You could charge a membership fee for your organisation. Some organisations have a “sliding scale” of fees according to whether the member is unemployed, on a low income, a student, employed, or a corporate or government organisation.
Having Patrons – Patrons can be selected for the status they bring to the organisation – or in acknowledgement of their financial support (in this case you could consider setting a Patron Subscription).
“Friends of the Organisation” membership – “Friends” are usually people interested in the organisation but not directly involved with it. It is a good idea to offer something to your “Friends” (e.g. open days; newsletters; cheaper entrance fees) in return for their paying a subscription or a donation (you can suggest the amount) to the organisation.
Business Membership – This is similar to “Friends” but is directed at commercial organisations. Local Authority/Government Agency Membership – Where this is appropriate you could charge
a higher membership fee. Major Sponsors – Similar to business sponsors but the contribution to the organisation might be
substantially higher.
1.11 FUNDING IN KIND Many groups and organisations obtain support in forms other than money. Some large corporations will give support in kind if you are able to comply with certain basic conditions (e.g. that you are a community group). Local small businesses should not be overlooked – many would like to be able to help you if they know you are there. Some businesses publicly declare their support for community groups and offer it on a general basis (e.g. NZ Post), where others prefer to work with groups individually, and more privately. When starting to use a new supplier, it is worth asking whether they have special rates for your kind of group.
You may be able to share offices at a reduced rent, or find a chartered accountant who will work for you pro bono (that is, without charging a fee). Some groups have obtained free or low cost photocopying at the copy shop in town, or parts-only charges for vehicle maintenance from the local motor mechanic. The list of possibilities is endless!
One large expense when you set up your group, and as your group matures and grows, is the cost of computing equipment. The concept of responsible computer recycling is growing and you may be able to benefit from local projects.
Earthlink Inc. recycles E-Waste (Electronic Waste). If you are looking for quality recycled goods then WasteSmart is your one stop shop. They sell recycled computers.

Earthlink Inc. 22 Eastern Hutt Road, Wingate Tel: 567 7111 Fax: 567 7114 Email: [email protected] Web: www.earthlink.org.nz/
Rent is another significant cost to groups which want offices outside a staff member’s house. District or City Councils sometimes have facilities you can use – talk it over with your Community Development Officer.
Some general points to consider:
Funding in kind does not appear out of nowhere – do not be afraid to ask for it or seek it out. You should find out whether any reduced- cost goods or services come with a reduced warranty
(this may affect whether you want to accept the offer). You may not wish to accept support from organisations that have a different philosophical
standpoint from you. You may be asked to acknowledge support publicly. In addition, they may want to acknowledge
their support of you in their material (which might raise your profile for you). You may be asked for something in return - a free copy of your newsletter, access to your services,
a place on your board. Again this might affect whether you wish to accept. You can decline as well as accept an offer of support.

2. FUNDRAISING Many community organisations need to fundraise in order to continue their work in the community or to develop and carry out projects. Seeking funding is one of the most important tasks organisations face.
2.1 FIRST STEPS IN ESTABLISHING A FUNDRAISING PROGRAMME Identify the purpose of the fundraising; Check whether fundraising is necessary (what is available now?); and Think about who will gain from it (will your target group benefit?). Once you have decided to fundraise: Describe the particular purpose; Set goals (make the fundraising job interesting and varied). Develop a need and a wish list. Brainstorm a list of ideas. Start selecting: Think of the positives, the difficulties, the possible strategies, the potential returns. Carefully estimate the amount of work that will be involved. List the resources needed, and check them against the resources available: people, equipment,
transport, facilities and money. Decide who will need to be consulted before any decisions about the fundraising venture are made; Make long term plans (but set short term targets you will reach on the way).
2.2 FUNDRAISING TIPS Establish funding clearly; Make sure that your organisation agrees and understands the fundraising activity; Spread the fundraising work load among staff; Ensure timelines are set and met; Select the fundraising methods that relate to your organisation and what your organisation want to
achieve; Make sure it’s fun to ensure their engagement of your community; Budget for income, expenses and profits; Check all legal responsibilities. For some raffles you need a licence from the Department of Internal
affairs.
2.3 SOME LOCAL FUNDRAISING PROJECTS These use the organisation’s resources. They may include:
Food and or entertainment: e.g. balls, socials or shows; wine and cheese parties, hat or “dress as” parties; picnics;
Sales: e.g. t-shirts, tea towels, puppets, art works; auctions; garage sales; market days; calendars; history of the organisation publications;
ERROR! REFERENCE SOURCE NOT FOUND.
DOC/12/102584 | 26 FEBRUARY 2015 Page 10 of 40
Money for labour: working bees; gardening; painting; labouring; sections clearing; home delivery. Sponsored activities: e.g. swims, walks; games; Exhibitions / demonstrations e.g. celebrity match; pottery demonstration and “have a go”; Community services: e.g. rubbish collections; information pamphlets; and competitions: e.g. sports
days; “top town” team events; quizzes; beach games; treasure hunts. Food Stalls and Road Closures – contact your local Council to see if consent is required.

Scratch and Help Booklets
Each booklet contains 40 dots concealing amounts from 50 cents to $3 underneath.

FUNDING INFORMATION SERVICE (FIS)
The Funding Information Service is a not-for- profit organisation collecting and distributing information about funding by way of three searchable computer databases. For more information visit the Funding Information Service website at www.fis.org.nz
The databases are an essential tool in sourcing funding information for community groups and individuals. They can assist in helping to find the most appropriate funds for your project or activity, give you information on where to go for application forms and guidelines and also provide advice on making good funding applications.
Fundview
Fundview contains information about funding for community groups in NZ and has about 670 national and regional based funding schemes. Funding is sourced from government, local government, philanthropic trusts, statutory trusts and service organisations. The database also provides a funding calendar and is updated monthly.
Breakout
Breakout contains information about awards, scholarships and grants for individual development, principally in academic, artistic, research and sport fields. It contains about 2000 entries.

Corporate Citizens
Corporate Citizens contains information about funding available through corporate businesses and organisations. Funding available includes cause related marketing, foundation grants, donations, gifts in kind/contra/pro bono, staff involvement, education and scholarships etc.
These three databases are available for viewing at
Department of Internal Affairs Level 4, Riverside Towers 15 Daly Street, Lower Hutt
They are also available at all Wellington City Libraries. You will need to be a member of the Wellington City Library.
CHARITIES
Many funders require applicants to have charitable status, and some may put limits on the size of any grant they make to groups operating without a legal structure.
Many charitable organisations are incorporated as a charitable trust or incorporated society. If your organisation is unincorporated, and wants to establish a legal “form”, see the Companies Office website (www.companies.govt.nz). Another website, www.keepingitlegal.net.nz, also has helpful information.
Charitable status can be gained quite easily if you have a charitable purpose, and meet the other requirements of the Charities Act. To find information about registering with the Charities Commission, and to apply, see their website: www.charities.govt.nz
Since 1 July 2008, charities must be registered with the Charities Commission to be eligible for charitable tax-exempt status.
Organisations that are not registered charities, but are non-profit, are eligible for other tax exemptions. You will need to work out whether your organisation meets the other requirements for tax exemptions under tax legislation. For more information about tax status, see the Inland Revenue website www.ird.govt.nz
PUBLIC FUNDING PROGRAMMES
The NZ Lottery Grants Board: this board distributes the profits from the Lotteries Commission each year. It does this through national and regional Lottery committees (e.g. Lottery Youth / Lottery Welfare). The emphasis is on supporting community initiative rather than supporting or providing primary social services (that is seen as the responsibility of government).
For further information contact

Tel: 800 824 824.
Philanthropic Trusts and Foundations: Funding is available from Trusts and Foundations for projects which meet their criteria for eligibility.
Government Departments: a number of government departments and local authorities also offer funding for programmes in specific areas such as justice, Maori development, Pacific peoples, employment etc.
PAYROLL GIVING
It’s now easier to give.
Payroll giving enables you to make donations directly from your pay and receive immediate tax credits via PAYE – in other words, you can give as you earn. For any donations made through payroll giving you will receive an immediate 33% tax rebate, for example, if you donate $15, it actually costs you $10.
Payroll giving is a voluntary scheme for both employers and employees.
For further information contact the IRD (www.ird.govt.nz).
