NCC Strategic Planning Grant Scheme for Not-for-Profits Available Now
We have a community grant of up to $1000+GST from the Nelson City Council available to support you in creating a business plan.
Strategic Planning has been proven to:

- improve staff satisfaction and retention
- manage expectations and bolsters trust
The grant is available to be used to support your Strategic Planning process through the costs associated with:
- utilising a facilitator
- hiring a venue
- design costs
- printing
- signing up for a 12 months mentoring program
