Over the last week Sport New Zealand has released the Community Resilience Fund to support sports and clubs facing financial hardship as a result of Covid-19.
 

The Fund is for organisations that are already materially negatively impacted by COVID-19 restrictions and/or will be materially negatively impacted by COVID-19 restrictions for the period April to June 2020.
 

For many eligible sports clubs across New Zealand, the Fund will provide significant short-term relief.
 

Please see the dates below from Sport Canterbury – a series of “Sports Help” sessions are scheduled this week, to support you with these questions:
 

• Are you eligible to apply for Sport New Zealand’s Community Resilience Fund?
• Can we assist you with your application process?

Jon, Jess, Mike and Tom will guide sports clubs through the process of applying for funding – how to determine if your club is eligible, and how to navigate the application process for Sport NZ’s Community Resilience Fund.

Over $400K has been administered to Canterbury West Coast sports and clubs over the first five working days; the Community Resilience Fund for the Canterbury West Coast region totals $1.7m. It is not too late to apply – please join us for a “Sports Help” zoom session this week to help you access short-term relief for your club.
