Social Impact Grants
The Social Impact Grants were offered as a one-off fund in 2022. These grants provided immediate, one-off funding to organisations to support their community work during the COVID-19 response. The districtwide Social Impact Grant was open to organisations across Kāpiti, including Ōtaki; the Ōtaki Social Impact Grant was open to Ōtaki-based organisations.
This fund was separate from the Social Investment Fund, which provides annual funding over three years.
