Welcome to the Auckland Council online grant application service, powered by SmartyGrants.

This is an expression of interest to apply for a single grant of $65,000 for an arts and culture project or event in the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area.

Note the local board will allocate $65,000 to one project. 

We would like to encourage applications for projects that are innovative and new. The project could be performance based, musical, visual, aural, digital or experiential.

The project will need to be conceived, designed, produced and delivered within the allocated funding ($65,000). If there is any requirement for ongoing maintenance from the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board – such as a piece of permanent public visual art – then it is unlikely that the project would to meet eligibility criteria.

Proposals need to meet the following criteria:

  • The funding will be given to one significant project rather than several smaller projects

  • The grant is for a new event or project, not ongoing operational activity

  • The project will promote innovation and/or excellence in arts and culture

  • The project will raise the profile of the arts and promote arts and cultural development

  • The project will be of local impact or benefit, but may be of regional significance

  • The project must not require any ongoing funding or maintenance by the local board
  • The project must take place within the boundaries of the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board

Applicants who are shortlisted may be required to provide further information by 25 April 2019.

Your proposal must be submitted online using this form before 10.00 pm on 15 April 2019.
