Community Partnership Fund - Comprehensive Application

Department of Internal Affairs, Nationwide

2005 / 2006 Comprehensive Application

The Expression of Interest round for the Digital Strategy Community Partnership Fund closed on 12 December 2005. 

There was significant interest in the first round of the Fund with over 280 Expressions of Interest, amounting to over $50 million of funding requested.  This exceeds the total funding allocation of $17.4 million (excl GST) for the Fund. Of those eligible, 101 applicants have been invited to submit a Comprehensive Application. 

Please note that an invitation to make a Comprehensive Application does not guarantee that a project will receive funding from the Community Partnership Fund. 

A significant number of Expressions of Interest applications did not effectively demonstrate alignment with several key areas of the ranking criteria.  The key areas as detailed in the guide are:

  • The partnership aspect
  • The partnership contribution
  • Sustainability of the project

Further information and the Comprehensive Application form is on line on www.digitalstrategy.govt.nz. Note that the form is only for EOI applicants who have received an invitation to submit a 2005 / 2006 Comprehensive Application for the Community Partnership Fund.

Closing dates for Comprehensive Applications:
Applications for funding up to $100,000              7 April 2006
