This is an expression of interest to apply for the Rodney Local Board Event Partnership Fund 2026/2027
The Local Board Event Partnership Fund is a three-year (term) fund specifically targeted to support the growth and sustainability of community events in the Rodney Local Board area that align to the Rodney Local Board Plan 2023and predetermined priorities.
In year one of the three-year process, all event organisers, including existing and new applicants, must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) application. Upon a successful application, the event partner secures local board funding for a three-year period.
Unlike other grant options, there is no fixed monetary range of funding. The amount is at the discretion of the local board.
Branding
- If you are successful, it is important you include the local board’s logo in promotional material. See the Brand Identity Guidelines around logo use (a copy of these guidelines and the logo will be emailed to you with your funding agreement). If you’re unsure, email your local board office to check if you’re on the right track.
Promotional support
- Council has a number of channels where your event can be promoted free of charge. A list will be emailed to you with your funding agreement.
- Providing full details of the event to the local board is important so they can support the event and spread the word locally.
- Start by visiting ourauckland.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/events and filling out a simple form to have your event listed on the Our Auckland website.
Contact us at communityfunding@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz or phone 09 301 0101 if you need assistance with completing this form.
