In some situations funding may be more appropriate through Creative New Zealand's national funding objectives rather than the Creative Communities New Zealand (CCNZ) scheme.
Creative New Zealand
Creative New Zealand is the National Arts Council of New Zealand Toi Aotearoa. It is the government agency responsible for the support and development of the arts in New Zealand. Creative New Zealand aims to foster an environment that supports the development of New Zealand arts and artists, and provide greater opportunities for people to enjoy the arts - wherever they live and whatever their circumstances. One of the most significant ways they can achieve this is by funding a diverse range of arts projects and endeavours. This is managed by three funding bodies: the Arts Board, Te Waka Toi (the Māori arts board) and the Pacific Arts Committee.
In addition to providing project funding, Creative New Zealand provides
a range of other support including:
- the Authors' Fund (until 2009)
- annual and multi-year funding
- the Creative Communities Scheme (local funding)
- the Screen Innovation Production Fund
- the Toi IhoTM Maori Made Mark

New Zealand can be found here http://www.creativenz.govt.nz
For projects to
be eligible for national funding, they must be of national
significance. They must benefit a number of regions or the
whole country or be nationally significant in terms of arts
development, process or scale. Projects which are of national
significance require a greater level of financial assistance
than a local assessment committee can provide. In this case
an application to Creative New Zealand's national objectives
may be accompanied by a letter of endorsement from the local
assessment committee explaining why it is unable to assist.
Applicants for
Creative New Zealand national funding are advised to obtain
a copy of 'Funding, a guide for applicants: Ngä pütea,
he whakamäramatanga mo ngä kaitono'. A copy of this
publication can be ordered online http://www.creativenz.govt.nz/Funding/tabid/71/language/en-NZ/Default.aspx
Applicants who need
further assistance can contact Creative New Zealand's arts
advisers via the Community Arts Palmerston North
