How do we pay for these services?

For community groups to run their organisation well, they need to be well led and managed, so it is worth budgeting for improving your group’s skills in these areas.  A few of the training resources on the lists are free of charge.  For the others, there are now several sources of funding that Pacific organisations can apply to for what is often called “capacity building” or “provider development”:

Existing funding contracts

If your group has a funding contract with one of these, speak to them about funding for your development.

• a District Health Board
• the Department of Child Youth and Family
• the Ministry of Education
  • tertiary education funding
  • discretionary funding for early childhood education (Pasifika ECE is included in the ECE Discretionary Grants Scheme)
• the Housing New Zealand Corporation
  • the Housing Innovation Fund and the Local Government Fund
    

Other possible sources

• The Lottery Grants Board has a Pacific Provider Development Fund.
• The J R McKenzie Trust has a programme called Building Pacific Organisations.
