Step 1.3 – Look into funding options
Check whether there are any grants or funding support to help get your age friendly plan underway.
Where to check for grants
Consider who might have funding available to support your project.
Some possibilities include:
- your local council
- Office for Seniors Age friendly fund
- Department of Internal Affairs Community Matters
- Lotteries Grants
- Ethnic Communities Development Fund.
Speak with some of the groups you are looking to align with, as they may know of other possibilities. Find advice and examples of grant applications on Community Net Aotearoa’s website.
Applying for grants
Make sure that your project is planned out before you start applying for grants.
