The Waipukurau Rotary Club is pleased to announce the availability of grants for a wide range of community projects and activities.
The club is committed to fostering growth and development within the Central Hawke’s Bay community and beyond, supporting initiatives in cultural activities, youth sports, skills development, community projects, and youth leadership.
These grants are available for projects at the local, provincial, and international levels.
Club president David Tilyard said: “Rotary encourages individuals, groups, and organisations to apply through our club’s website. Our goal is to empower and assist those who are making a positive impact in our community.
“Whether you represent a youth sports team, are participating in a cultural event, initiating a community project, or enhancing youth leadership and skills, we want to hear from you. We undertake a rigorous assessment process to ensure each application meets our aims and will benefit the community or the individual.”
In addition to these grants, Rotary has provided financial support locally to residents affected by Cyclone Gabrielle, distributing $20,000 from the club’s own funds, along with donations and grants from other NZ Rotary clubs.
“We were very proud to be able to help,” Tilyard said.
“These grants are made possible thanks to the generous support we receive from our fundraising efforts.”
