We’ve got some seriously exciting news to share with you – we’re flipping the script on the whole funding hustle with our latest innovation: one single, unified global funding application. It’s a total game-changer, not just for us but for all those who believe in what we do. We all know that filling out funding applications is a real headache. We simply don’t have time for that. Crafting different applications for different funders? It’s like trying to do a hundred things at once! So, we’ve cracked the code! One application to rule them all. This means less time wrestling with forms and more time diving into the heart of our mahi. And what makes our new application stand out? It’s direct, no-nonsense. It tells our story, our ambitions, and precisely how we plan to make things happen – no fancy jargon, no unnecessary fluff. Sure, getting the funds is a big deal, but fostering solid relationships with those who back our kaupapa is what truly matters. With this new application, it’s all about being crystal clear and upfront. We want our funding partners to see us for who we really are. This move is a serious game-changer for us, and we firmly believe it’s a step in the right direction for the funding realm. Our aim? To make life simpler for everyone and set a shining example for a more straightforward, honest way of getting things done. We’re super excited to witness the impact this will bring and where this journey will take us. Massive thanks for being a part of this thrilling ride with us!

Community Aotearoa has teamed up with ‘The 35 Collective’ a roopu of grassroots Māori community organisations in the Eastern Bay of Plenty rohe to shine the spotlight on their mahi in the community.
