The second round of the 2024/25 Creative Communities Scheme (CCS) is now open for applications.
We allocate this funding on behalf of Creative New Zealand and have $21,227 available to help fund community projects with an arts and culture focus.
Past projects that were made possible thanks to CCS funding range from cultural dance performances at Upper Hutt’s much-loved annual Spring Festival to musical productions, community comedy shows, and local Matariki celebrations.
Participants and audiences of all ages and backgrounds have been inspired and entertained at CCS-funded events, and have made important memories and connections with their community.
Are you working on a project that celebrates arts and culture, and provides an opportunity to explore, create, and learn together? Apply today!
