Community Grants

Papakura District Council through its grants programme supports a wide range of groups in the community who provide local services and activities on a voluntary or ‘not for profit’ basis to the community. 

The aim is to assist Papakura’s community groups in meeting the needs of local residents. This assistance includes grants and funding for the arts, the Creative Communities Scheme, Road Safety Projects, or local community grants.

Aside from the Council’s funding, there are other Funding Agencies that provide assistance to local community groups, including the Community Organisation Grants Scheme


Community Organisation Grants Scheme

The Community Organisation Grants Scheme (GOGS) is a central government funded scheme that supports essential projects and services within New Zealand that if not provided, will lead to a greater cost to government.

A COGS grant can help fund a community organisation providing these essential projects and social services to Maori and Pacific Island communities and people, women, seniors, young people, children, families, the unemployed, people with mental and/or physical disabilities and those living in isolated areas.

If a community group or organisation is New Zealand-based and it provides essential social services to the above group of people then it can apply online for COGS funding.
