Our Purpose
The purpose of the Creative Communities Scheme is to provide financial assistance to groups and individuals for local arts and cultural activities. ‘Arts’ is broadly defined to mean any ‘creative practice’, including those relating to language, literature, performing arts and visual arts.
Our Aim
The aim of the Creative Communities Scheme is to increase the number of people participating in arts and cultural activities at a local level, widen the range of arts available and community interest in them, support artistic and cultural expressions by diverse communities.
What will not be funded
- Facility development
- Purchase of art works for galleries
- Ongoing administrative costs that are not related to a specific project
- Repayment of debt or interest on that debt

What to do if successful in gaining funding
If successful in gaining a grant, the money must be used for the purposes specified in the application. Upon receiving the grant, applicants will have to sign a Certificate of Acceptance, and within two months of the project being completed, a Certificate of Expenditure must be completed. (TCAC will send the forms). Any money not spent because the project was not started or competed (or came in under budget) must be returned to TCAC.
IMPORTANT: The Titirangi Community Arts Council Committee meets on the second Wednesday of March, June, September and December to consider applications. It is advisable to send your application well before your event is due.
