Community grants & awards
Taupo District Community Grants Scheme
Taupo District Council are committed to ensuring that our community grants are allocated and distributed fairly, transparently and efficiently.
This is done in two ways, through partnership agreements with Council and by grants distributed by independent distributors.
Council is also supported by the Turangi-Tongariro Community Board and the Mangakino-Pouākani Representative Group to distribute funds.
The administration of two external grants for Creative New Zealand and Sport New Zealand is also supported by Council.
