  • Community Resilience Fund – Phase Two
    BACKGROUND INFORMATION Community Resilience Fund – Phase Two Provided to the Minister’s office on 9 October 2020 Purpose 1. The purpose of this briefing is to provide you with the final amounts awarded through the Community Resilience Fund – Phase Two (CRF 2). This background document will be proactively released on Sport NZ’s website on Wednesday 14 October 2020 Community Resilience Fund – Phase Two Overview 2. CRF was initially a $10M fund, distributed by Regional Sports Trusts (RSTs) to regional and local organisations. Due to the demand for the fund in the initial three weeks, further funding was approved and the total fund was increased to $15M. 3. RSTs have approved 2,070 applications and have allocated just over $14.954 million for regional and local organisations to cover fixed and operational costs for the period 1 July 2020 to 30 September 2020. 4. Applications for the fund closed on Friday 4 September 2020. However, Aktive received a two week extension to close on Friday 18 September 2020 as a result of Auckland being placed into Alert Level 3. We anticipated that this would result in worsening financial situations for organisations in the regions due to further reductions in revenue, and an increase in the number of organisations that were eligible to apply for support. Outlined in the tables below are details of the recipients and amounts awarded through the CRF 2. Note: Funds paid to applicants were inclusive of Government Services Tax where applicable.
