Short-term fund available for providers of child and family services

Ministry of Social Development ,

The Ministry of Social Development is calling for applications for a short-term fund of $5 million called the "Campaign Response Fund " to support providers of child and family services that have experienced higher demand for their services as a result of the Campaign for Action on Family Violence.

Priority will be given to providers who play a significant role in family violence prevention in their communities.

Grants awarded will typically be for a small amount to provide immediate relief.

Applications can also be made by national organisations in the family violence sector that provide services that have been impacted by the campaign and who may also provide expertise and support to other agencies as part of their services.

Funding is divided into two application rounds. This will ensure that those who need urgent funding will have certainty about that funding before the end of the year.

The second round of funding will provide support for the next phase of the campaign which will happen in early 2008.

The first round closes at 5:00pm on Wednesday, 5 December and successful applicants will be notified of the amount they will receive by 21 December.

Applications for the second round will open in March 2008.
