Community Grants Policy and programmes
Our Community Grants Policy guides the allocation of local and regional grants to those involved in the delivery of projects, activities and services that benefit Aucklanders.
Types of grants
The Community Grants Policy has three main grant types:
- local grant programmes - each local board has now adopted a grants programme
- regional grant programmes
- multi-board grants: applicants can apply to three or more local boards for the same project. Applicants will need to apply to the local board with the earliest closing date.
These grant types support:
- arts
- events
- community
- sport and recreation
- environment
- heritage.

Local board grant programmes
Each local board has adopted a grant programme.
The programmes detail:
- desired outcomes and priorities of the local board
- grant schemes offered by each board
- minimum and maximum grant amounts
- grant round dates
- any additional accountability requirements.
You can view and download each board's grant programme.

Submit your accountability report online
If you have received a grant from us since 1 July 2013 you will need to submit an accountability report online, attaching your receipts.
This shows us how you have used your grant.
If you do not submit the report by the due date and time, your group will not be eligible for further funding from us.
Access the report form
You can access the accountability report form, and see when it is due, on the
SmartyGrants website (log in and then click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the page).
If your account is locked, it may be because you have not submitted the form by the due date.
Contact us and ask to speak to your local community grants advisor.
If you have not spent all of a grant
If you have not spent all of a grant when you have completed your project, event, activity or programme, you must return the unspent portion.
Contact us and ask to speak to a community grants advisor.
