 A
new way to find funding for your cultural projects
A search engine aimed at helping cultural groups match projects with
potential funders starts up on 23 April. The easy-to-use funding guide
is hosted by NZLive.com, the smart new cultural portal which went live
last September.
This new search function is free to use and specifically tailored to
the needs of the cultural sector, making it easy for cultural groups
and artists to find the best match between their projects and
potential funders. For example, you can search for funding by
category, region and type of fund.
The Ministry for Culture and Heritage, Creative New Zealand, Te Papa
National Services Te Paerangi and the Funding Information Service
jointly developed the guide.
Art galleries, museums, heritage organisations, theatres and other
performing arts are among groups who were consulted during its
development.
Launching the guide at Te Papa, Arts, Culture and Heritage Minister
Helen Clark said it made perfect sense for the guide to be hosted by
NZLive.com, a site set up to promote cultural organisations, their
activities, services and products.
“Launched only seven months ago, website traffic to NZLive.com is
building strongly. The cultural events guide is becoming a regular
part of leisure-time planning for many New Zealanders.
“Some of the most popular links on NZLive.com are to ticketing
agencies, indicating that NZLive.com is encouraging people to
participate in cultural activities,” she said.
“Organisations are also reporting that visitors at their events have
heard about them on NZLive.com.”
