Events Sponsorship Scheme
Round 1 of the 2023/24 year is open
Round 1 of the 2023/24 year opens 28 April 2023 through to 04 August 2023.
This is a Council fund intended to support events in the district that help to develop community cohesion and reinforce economic growth. The fund is awarded by the Finance/Performance Committee.
There are three main categories of events: high profile, community, or high profile community events. Applications are open to groups (not individuals) whose events take place within the Rangitīkei, and that are not funded by the Rangitīkei District Council ratepayers through other means. The impact of high profile events on the local economy will be measured and reported upon.
There are normally two funding rounds per year, and there is $50,000 in the fund for distribution (shared across both funding rounds). There is a maximum cap of 50% of eligible costs that can be funded.
