These three important areas have been singled out for special attention and they represent a new way of working with community organisations. This targeted funding is aimed at getting results and includes supporting organisations with development, project costs and evaluation. Additional resources for the Youth Health and Development fund include a published summary of the research which went into developing the fund and a report on results after the first year.
This year Trustees approved strategies for engaging with Māori and Pacific communities and organisations. Summaries of both strategies are published and available on our website.
The Pacific strategy is a major focus. The Trust is committed to enabling Pacific communities to achieve their potential and the strategy was developed after a series of fono in 2010. The feedback from those fono has been published as a booklet titled Engaging with Pacific Communities.
Meanwhile, with stage two of MPEI funding underway, a series of stories about the organisations already funded under the initiative have been collected and published. The latest covers Unitec’s Graduate Diploma in Not for Profit Management. There are also publications about C-Me Mentoring Trust’s apprenticeship training, Sylvia Park School’s home-school partnership and Rise Up Trust’s project to build learning communities.
All our published resources and research summaries are available on our website, or you can request a copy by contacting info@ASBCommunityTrust.org.nz
