Applying for Funding
The Community Partnership Fund will support grassroots ICT-related initiatives. The Community Partnership Fund is about innovation - we want to see your ideas for:
- building ICT skills and capability in regions and communities;
- mapping communities’ ICT assets and identifying priority gaps;
- strengthening community projects through the use of ICT;
- addressing issues of confidence, such as safety and security, in using ICT;
- Smart ways to digitise and link content and use technology applications across your community and New Zealand.
Applications for the Community Partnership Fund are following a two stage process.
- Expressions of interest stage 2005 / 2006: Applicants seeking funding were required to submit a preliminary application and outline supporting documents by 12 December 2005. The purpose of this stage is to determine which Applicants were to be invited to submit a full application.
- Comprehensive application stage 2005 / 2006: Applicants successful at the EOI stage are being invited to submit a comprehensive application with detailed supporting documents. The comprehensive applications will be assessed against the criteria and the level of funding (if any) will be determined at this stage.
