CCC invites funding applications for projects which aim to protect those things which define who we are. But how do you find your way through the system? Your idea might not meet all criteria to be eligible for other sources of public funding. You might have a good idea but not be sure about how to get it traction. Rules to do with eligibility for public funding are made to ensure a fair process, so please remember the timelines. Ask us about how to apply, or contact Community Development Adviser Philipa Hay at 941 5657 or philipa.hay@ccc.govt.nz (after 3 February) for advice and support. Lots of helpful information is also available at the Christchurch City Council website link http://www.ccc.govt.nz/community/funding. The main opportunities are: We have $45,000 of Strengthening Communities funding to distribute. We have $14,000 of Small Grants funding to distribute. We have $15,000 of Discretionary Response funding to distribute. Applications can be made at any time. The Community Advisor also organises regular Lyttelton Harbour Network Meetings
