BACKGROUND

4 Applications opened for the DCC Community Arts, Professional Theatre, Creative Communities, Community Events and Community Grants funds on 5 September and closed on 30 September 2022.

5 A funding workshop was held for potential applicants in September 2022, covering telling your story to the funder, budgets and reporting. Around 120 people attended the workshop. During September Facebook posts, newspaper notices and newsletters were used to promote available grants.

6 Potential applicants were encouraged to communicate with staff before applying so additional advice and information could be given.

DISCUSSION

Number of Applications and Grant Funding Available – September 2022

Grant Fund Name	Number of Applications Received	Number Withdrawn	Total Requested	Total Available (September 2022 Round)
Community Arts	3		$15,000.00	$36,650.00
Creative Communities Scheme	17		$69,965.67	$85,722.54
Professional Theatre	2		$25,060.00	$96,600.00
Community Events	12		$54,504.77	$43,950.00
Community Grants	23		$129,443.28	$97,300.00

DCC Arts Grants: Community Arts, Professional Theatre

7 These two funding pools are significantly undersubscribed. There are a range of factors that are likely to have contributed to this.

8 Throughout the country, high levels of burn-out are reported amongst arts practitioners. Over the past 2 years, repeated cancellations, apprehensive audiences, job and funding insecurity have increased stress and exhaustion for those working in the creative community.

9 In Ōtepoti, this is especially marked in performing arts communities, from which a high proportion of DCC Community Arts and Professional Theatre applications are historically sourced.

10 The shrinking funding landscape contributes to the stress felt in creative circles. DCC policy is to fund no more than 50% of a project’s costs; applicants must show that they have other forms of support. There is seldom sufficient funding available to provide financial remuneration for all those involved in a project and levels of donated time are usually very high, exacerbating burn-out.

11 When these factors are combined, the project-based nature of the funding becomes problematic. Lack of support for ongoing operational costs (such as studio rent or support for tutors’ wages) means that energies need to be focussed on meeting basic needs rather than developing new work.

12 The DCC grants policy is currently under review; it is expected that any changes made will help mitigate these and other barriers that communities face when accessing DCC arts grants.

13 DCC does not allow applicants to be allocated more funding than requested. Unallocated funding can be held over to the March 2023 funding round.

Creative New Zealand Creative Communities Scheme

14 This funding pool is also undersubscribed; many of the reasons outlined above are relevant in this case.

15 This round includes CCS funding that has been held over from March 2022; CNZ recommends that funding held over be disbursed in the following round.

16 CNZ does allow applicants to be allocated more funding than requested and staff have made their funding recommendations based on this.

Community Events

17 Community Event applications are down compared to this time last year by 40%. A range of factors that are likely to have contributed to this are similar to those discussed above.

18 Nationally the events industry has gone through an uncertain time, and it is increasing costs including for freight and now facing production increases, as well as job uncertainty, the industry is facing exhaustion.

19 DCC does not allow applicants to be allocated more funding than requested. Unallocated funding can be held over to the March 2023 funding round.

Community Grants

20 Community Grant applications are down on this time last year by just over 20%. Some previous recipients have struggled to use their funding for a range of reasons including COVID 19 restrictions.

21 Social service organisations are relying on community funding to meet a growing client need. While acknowledging that the Community Grant allocation limit is $5,000.00 per application a number of applicants have chosen to ask for more reflecting their increasing needs.

22 DCC does not allow applicants to be allocated more funding than requested. Unallocated funding can be held over to the March 2023 funding round.

OPTIONS

23 There are no options.

NEXT STEPS

24 Staff will advise applicants of the Subcommittee’s decisions and administer the payment of grants.

Māori Impact Statement

Mana whenua are represented on the Grants Subcommittee, providing into and advice on allocations.

Sustainability

Contestable grants support the sustainability of community, arts and events sector applicants within the city.

LTP/Annual Plan / Financial Strategy /Infrastructure Strategy

There are no implications.

Financial considerations

Budgets for contestable grants are set at the Annual and 10-Year Plans. The budget available for CCS grants is higher than usual for the September round. This is due to the rollover of funding from the March 2022 round. CNZ recommends that rolled over funding be allocated in the following round. Allocations must be made within the available budget. Unspent DCC grant funds can be rolled over to the March 2023 round.

Significance

This decision is considered low in terms of the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

Engagement – external

Staff have engaged with applicants and other funders in making recommendations.

Engagement - internal

Staff from Community Development, Events, Ara Toi and the Waste and Environmental Solutions teams engage around applications.

Risks: Legal / Health and Safety etc.

There are no identified risks.

Conflict of Interest

Staff conflicts of interest have been managed, with identified staff removed from assessing or reviewing specific grant applications

Community Boards

There are no known implications for Community Boards.

Grants Subcommittee

16 November 2022

Waste Minimisation Community Projects/Initiatives, Innovation and Development (Commercial) and Small Grant Applications

Department: Waste and Environmental Solutions

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 This report summarises applications received during September 2022 for Waste Minimisation Community Project/Initiative and Waste Minimisation Innovation and Development (Commercial) funding.

2 The purpose of this report is to assist the Subcommittee in considering applications and allocating funding by providing a summary of the funding criteria, applications received, amount of funding requested, the amount available, and the amount recommended.

3 A summary of the Waste Minimisation Small Project Grants already approved by the Grants Subcommittee Chair or another delegated Subcommittee member is also included as Attachment C.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Subcommittee:

a) Decides the grants funding to be allocated to applicants from the Waste Minimisation Community Project/Initiative Grants fund.

b) Decides the grants funding to be allocated to applicants from the Waste Minimisation Innovation and Development (Commercial) Grants fund.

c) Approves the remaining unallocated grant funding from the Waste Minimisation Community Project/Initiative Grants fund be attributed to the next Waste Minimisation Community Project/Initiative Grants funding round in March 2023.

d) Notes that the Waste Minimisation Grants are funded by Waste Disposal Levy funds provided by the Ministry for the Environment and are not rates funded.

e) Notes the approved funding allocated to organisations for Waste Minimisation Small Project Grants.

BACKGROUND

4 Applications opened for the Waste Minimisation Community Project/Initiative and Waste Minimisation Innovation and Development (Commercial) Grants on 1 September 2022 and closed at 5pm, 30 September 2022 (Attachment A).

5 For this round of funding, $30,000 is available for Waste Minimisation Community Project/Initiative Grant and $70,000 for the Waste Minimisation Innovation and Development (Commercial) Grant (Attachment B).

6 Two Waste Minimisation Small Project Grants have been approved under delegated authority since April 2022. During the 2021/22 financial year a total value of $2,283.70 was allocated. Thus far in the current financial year, one grant of $500 has been awarded with $9,500 remaining for allocation.

7 The Waste Minimisation Small Project Grants are summarised in Attachment C.

8 Both before and during the application period, email notifications were provided by Council staff to raise awareness of the grants available and the application criteria. A funders workshop evening event was held for prospective applicants to talk with funders. Advertising in community newsletters, public notices, local newspapers, radio, and social media was undertaken. Potential applicants were encouraged to communicate with staff before applying so additional advice and information could be provided.

9 Staff engaged with Start Up Dunedin to develop and advertise for expressions of interests for new local waste minimisation business innovations to present to a panel. Four applicants were selected to present at the panel session. The reviewing panel consisted of waste minimisation and sustainability advisors and Start Up business coaching staff. Some of the presenters have applied in the September 2022 round for a Waste Minimisation Innovation and Development (Commercial) Grant.

10 Applicants who had submitted project start dates before the receipt of funding have been contacted to confirm revised project start dates (1 December 2022 or later). This is to avoid the funding of projects retrospectively.

11 Applications that were submitted after the close off date have not been assessed. Despite staff efforts to communicate application stipulations, one application for the Waste Minimisation Community Project/Initiative grant was submitted 4 days after the close off. This has not been included for assessment and instead the applicant has been advised and will likely submit in the March 2023 round.

Accountability Reports

12 Over the 6 months from April to the end of September 2022, staff have received 11 accountability reports for previous waste minimisation grants funding. There are a further 22 accountability reports that are not yet due having been awarded within the last 12 months or that received an extension.

13 Any overdue accountability reports are being actively pursued by Council staff.

14 Two previous successful applicants have refunded their grants. These are:

a) South Dunedin Street Festival: due to Covid 19 disruption the event had to be cancelled.

b) MUTU: due to Covid 19 disruption the promotion and scale-up of the MUTU model in Dunedin had struggled. MUTU decided to close-down the marketplace website and App.

15 The total refund amount is $6,244.84. This money will be returned to the Waste Disposal Levy fund.

16 Due to Covid 19 disruption, report back period four extension requested were asked to be considered. The Grants Sub-Committee approved the request to the four recipients; Resilient Dunedin to the end of October 2022, Nova Partnership to the end of October 2022, Res.Awesome Limited to the end of April 2023, and Weaving on Hillingdon to the end May 2023.

2 Thirteen project completion reports have been received from recipients of previous funding rounds of the Dunedin Biodiversity Fund since the last report in November 2021. Three grants were forfeited.

3 Staff continue to follow up on unclaimed grants from earlier rounds. There are 40 approved grants from the September 2019 to March 2022 rounds yet to be claimed.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Subcommittee:

a) Notes the project completion reports on Dunedin Biodiversity Fund projects.

b) Decides whether to reallocate $8,230.10 of unclaimed grant monies to the March 2023 round of the Biodiversity Fund.

* Grant forfeited

8 The documents received from grant recipients indicate that all the projects above have been successfully completed and were consistent with their applications, thereby contributing to the purpose of the Dunedin Biodiversity Fund via the protection and enhancement of indigenous biodiversity in Dunedin. Invoices presented for the projects are within the funding amounts granted, with some less than the grant amount.

9 The balance of monies left over from claimed grants since the May 2022 Subcommittee meeting is $8,230.10.

10 There are 40 approved grants totalling $107,605.98 from the September 2019 to March 2022 rounds yet to be claimed. There are no grants outstanding from funding rounds prior to September 2019.

OPTIONS

Option One – The Grants Subcommittee reallocates the unclaimed monies of $8,230.10 to the March 2023 funding round.

Advantages

· More funding available to the next round of the Biodiversity Fund.

· Project savings are available to be reallocated to other projects within the Biodiversity Fund budgeted allocation.

Disadvantages

· Reallocated monies remain as accruals.

Option Two – The Grants Subcommittee does not reallocate the unclaimed monies of $8,230.10 to the March 2023 funding round.

Advantages

· Project savings are returned to DCC.

Disadvantages

· The Biodiversity Fund does not fully allocate budgeted funds for the purpose intended.

NEXT STEPS

11 Staff will continue to administer the Biodiversity Fund and provide oversight of projects.
