Thank you! Over 700 votes were received from the community!
In early 2023 we received a whopping 34 applications for our School Sustainability & Resilience Fund from schools, kura, kohanga, kindergartens, early childhood education centres and other education organisations across our rohe. This fund has been allocated by the community.
There was such an overwhelming response of applications that we decided to increase the fund from $35,000 to $50,000. This means the public had $35,000 to spend, while our Youth Panel team had another $15,000 to allocate.
Congratulations to all applications that were successful in this year’s School Sustainability and Resilience Fund.
