Funding and Opportunities

We are now OPEN for funding proposals for 2024-2025
Applications close at 5PM on Sunday, 15th September

Each year, the Whau Local Board, through the Whau Community Arts Broker, funds creative projects that support community arts in the Whau. These projects celebrate the Whau identity through high-quality art, amplify the diverse voices within the community, and ensure that our tamariki and rangatahi have access to the arts. Community arts foster a sense of belonging, encourage participation, and strengthen our social fabric by bringing people together through shared creative experiences.

Where can I do things?

A project can take place anywhere in the Whau Local Board area in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland).
The Whau area encompasses New Lynn, Green Bay, Kelston, Rosebank, Waterview, Avondale, New Windsor, Glenavon and Blockhouse Bay.
