Our city relies heavily on a number of community organisations, many voluntary, that care for Napier community, especially our more vulnerable citizens. Each year we provide operational funding to these groups so they can continue their good work.
Napier City Council provides funding for not for profit community and voluntary organisations that provide a social service to Napier residents, often in their time of need. For more information, please contact the Community Funding Advisor at csgrants@napier.govt.nz.
Smarty Grants is an online portal that allows grant makers to track their progress and receive notifications on upcoming grant opportunities, ensuring that they are always up-to-date with the latest information. Smarty Grants simplifies the grant application process, providing organisations, groups and individuals with access to a wide range of funding opportunities. This means applicants will now need to create a Smarty Grants profile to apply for funding.
No hard copy applications will be accepted, and no late applications will be considered.
For more information on Smarty Grants and how to sign up visit our Smarty Grants info page here.
The community services grant supports community and voluntary not-for-profit organisations, with legal status, so they can meet current and future community needs and innovate and/or continue to provide social services that benefit the Napier community. Grants typically range from $500-$2000.
For more information please see our community services grant guidelines here.
Rates subsidies are also available to not for profit organisations that provide a social service. The properties must be rated as commercial, owned by the organisation and used to provide community services. The organisation must be the official ratepayer as recognised by Napier City Council. Organisations that already receive a discount on their rates are not eligible for this rates subsidy.
Community organisations play a vital role in addressing pressing needs and providing specialised services to those in need. The 'Latest Recipients' table highlights some of the organisations that have received funding to continue their work. These organisations often have a specific focus, allowing them to provide high-quality services to their communities. Alongside government and local agencies, community organisations form a critical part of the framework that supports and cares for everyone. The funding received by these organisations not only helps those who need it the most but also strengthens our communities as a whole.
Priority is given to groups whose primary purpose:
Applicants will need provide evidence of additional costs, increased demand, and/or reduced funding.
Priority is given to organisations whose services are 100% targeted to Napier residents.
Applicants who have been approved for the Community Services Grant will need to account for the funds they have spent, and share with us what they have learnt and achieved. Accountability Reports (acquittal reports) can be submitted through our online portal by logging into your Smarty Grants account. These reports must be completed no later than 31 March each year.
