Types of eligible initiatives could be workshops, events, seminars, research and surveys, awareness campaigns, community activities, resources for sectors of the community, and more. Eligible initiatives are those that address a need and provide benefit to the Whangārei community. We are unable to support initiatives that provide private benefit to a small group or to individuals. Think about an idea that benefits lots of people, or people who really need it, and apply!
