08/07/2010	FUNDING OPPORTUNITY - SAVE THE CHILDREN GRANTS
Save the Children New Zealand invites you to submit applications for the Small Grants Fund.
The Small Grants Fund is targeted at local projects advancing the rights of New Zealand children. Save the Children would like to fund local initiatives that endeavour to make lasting benefits for children and young people by building their capacity to reach their full potential. The projects must focus on child participation, protection and poverty. Project ideas can be identified, developed and implemented by or with children and young people as appropriate. The Small Grants Fund committee will consider funding research, project development, start-up costs, training, and appropriate resources, conferences and meetings. Capital items such as office equipment, ongoing project costs, leisure activities, medical expenses, retrospective funding, projects taking place off-shore and those undertaken by national and local government will not be considered. The maximum Small Grants Fund award per project is $10,000. The Small Grants Fund is allocated twice a year and the closing dates for receiving applications are April 15 and September 15.
