Waste Minimisation Grants for Community Events

We have Waste Minimisation Grants available to help event organisers to reduce the amount of waste at an event, using a wide range of waste minimisation initiatives.

The aim is to also raise awareness of recycling, recovery, and composting in the community for those attending the events.

Grants of up to $750 are available. Applications are open all year round but you must use the funding within six months of receiving it.

There are certain criteria to obtain a grant:

• The event takes place in Tasman or has benefit to Tasman residents
• It must be for specific event or activity
• Aligns with the Nelson Tasman Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2019
• Is for not for profit, schools, charitable and voluntary community groups or organisations (not available for individuals)
• Identify benefit to the community that will result from funding support.

The grants can be used for:

• One-off projects or events
• Service delivery costs
• Material and equipment hire
• Monitoring and evaluation.

If you are successful in obtaining a grant, you’ll need to complete an accountability form(external link) to show how the money was used.
