The amount allocated will depend on the number of applications received.
Preference will be given to Whanganui-based organisations and projects must take place within the Whanganui district.
When evaluating projects, we look at:
- how the project empowers the community and supports the district to reduce emissions or build resilience to climate change
- who the project benefits and how long the benefits will last
- how ready the project is to deliver
- how success will be measured and whether there any risks associated with the project
- what other funding you have in place and whether there any alternative funding options.
See our Applying for the Community Climate Action Fund document for more detail on our criteria.
