Community Funding | Napier City Council

Community Grants

Napier City provides two community grants -The Community Services Grant, is a contestable fund, so the quality of your application is important. The Community Development grant is open all year or until the funds are spent.

Community Services Grant is available to not-for-profit community organisations who support and enhance the community through the services they provide Napier residents, often in their time of need. This fund supports those organisation so they can meet current and future community needs, innovate and/or continue to provide services that benefit the Napier community.
Community Development Grant supports initiatives that respond to a community need. Each year we provide $74,200 to community organisations, big and small, that are helping to make Napier the best city in New Zealand to live, to work, raise a family, and enjoy a safe and satisfying life.
Creative Communities Scheme is available for projects or events that encourage participation in arts and culture within the Napier Community.

Heritage Improvements Grant

The Heritage Improvement Fund was disestablished in mid-2017. Future funding applications are now managed by Art Deco Trust through the Robert McGregor Heritage Fund.

Creative Communities

Creative New Zealand, in partnership with NCC, distributes $52,680 to groups, organisations and individuals working within our local creative community. Most grants range between $500 and $2,500.

Community Development Grant

We want to see Napier become the best city in New Zealand to live, work and raise a family - and to live a safe and satisfying life. Each year we provide $74,200 to community organisations that help build a whānau vibe in the city.

Community Services Grant

Our city relies heavily on a number of community organisations, many voluntary, that care for Napierites, especially our more vulnerable citizens. Each year we provide operational funding to these groups so they can continue their good work.

Heritage Improvements Fund

Napier City Council has operated a fund that contributes to the cost of repainting heritage buildings in Napier for many years. In mid-2017, this fund was disestablished and transferred to the Art Deco Trust. A new fund, in partnership with the Art Deco Trust, was launched in November 2017.

Keep Napier Beautiful

Every year, on the first Saturday of November, Keep Napier Beautiful runs Napier’s Recycling Day. Much of the money raised from the day goes into a fund that support projects which enhance the beautification of Napier.
