Enhancing the capability of the Tamariki and Rangatahi Sector
Liz Harburg — October 30, 2022
The first round of applications under the Tamariki and Rangatahi Sector Capability Fund were considered at the Trust’s October board meeting. This new fund, under the Trust’s new Tamariki and Rangatahi Strategy which was launched this year, are designed to fund projects and activities that support organisations working in the youth sector to grow and succeed.
In response to feedback from the sector, the Trust worked hard to have a quicker than normal turn around on applications under this capability fund, with applications closing at the end of September and a funding decision being made at the Trust’s October board meeting. We hope that by having this quicker turnaround, we can better support organisations to plan and budget for their 2023 activities.
Trustees approved a total of 14 applications to the new fund, allocating a total of $104,498.
Projects funded included professional development, policy reviews, strategic planning activities, enhancing evaluation frameworks and cultural capability development. Excitingly, some applications were focused on enhancing the skills of young people to allow them to play a greater role within the leadership and governance of their community organisation.
Remember that while the Trust has released new funds under the Tamariki and Rangatahi Strategy, we know that there will also be plenty of projects that align with our new strategy but might not seem to fit within any of the new funds. That’s ok, in fact, we are excited to see new applications come to us in this space.
You can contact Liz Harburg or Sue Stewart at any time to discuss what your organisation is aspiring to achieve, and we can guide you as to the best fund to apply to.
