Selwyn District Council makes a considerable contribution to the social fabric of the community via a range of community grants, scholarships and in-kind support. Having a Community Funding & Grants Programme is an explicit acknowledgement by Selwyn District Council that achieving positive wellbeing outcomes for community cannot be achieved by Council alone.

All funds & grants that are made available will be reviewed and considered during the Long Terms Plan and Annual Plan process and may not automatically be renewed.
