2025 Waste Minimisation Fund
The aim of the Fund is to support waste minimisation projects which encourage community participation and education and/or are of benefit to the community of Hamilton and lead to long-term waste minimisation action and behaviour change.
Supporting projects with this aim will help reduce waste to landfill and help achieve the vision, goals and objectives of the Waste Plan.
The Fund is open to community groups, businesses, Iwi/Maaori organisations, educational institutions and other community-based organisations operating within Hamilton or whose aims and outcomes are for the benefit of the Hamilton community.
The Fund has $50,000 to distribute annually with one funding round per year. Applicants can apply for one of two options:
Standard funding – minimum $1000 maximum $5000.
Special projects – minimum $5000 maximum $15,000.
The Fund is contestable, with each application assessed on its merits on a case-by-case basis by an Application Assessment Panel.
This funding round covers the period from June 2024 to March 2025. Click here to view the Waste Minimisation Fund guidelines.
