Funding for Action on Family Violence

By / 25 March 2009

Round Four of the Community Action Fund, part of the Campaign for Action on Family Violence, closes on Tuesday 31 March 2009

The Community Action Fund supports family violence prevention projects in New Zealand communities to change attitudes and behaviours that ignore, excuse, minimise or trivialise the effects of family violence.

The purpose of the Community Action Fund is to:
·         ensure the objectives and messages of the national campaign are echoed, made relevant and acted on in local communities
·         build community ownership and commitment to the prevention of family violence and support local change
·         encourage community organisations to work collaboratively to prevent family violence.

Key messages are:
·         family violence is preventable – attitudes and behaviours can change
·         preventing family violence is a public issue – it’s everyone’s business
·         community action changes the way we think about family violence.

Who can apply?
The Fund is open to local not-for-profit community organisations, hapu and iwi Maori organisations and networks working collaboratively in their communities. Projects need to have a well thought-out plan to effect change in the community. The maximum grant is $30,000.

Information and application forms are attached or please go to http://www.familyservices.govt.nz/our-work/preventing-violence/community-action.html
If you have any queries about your application please call Sally Rye-Dunn (04) 978 4190 or Cristy Trewartha (04) 916 3922.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.
