Hon JAN TINETTI: The funding is to support organisations who (1) work to improve outcomes for women and girls, and (2) are seeing an increased demand for services, and/or reduced resources, because of COVID-19. The three objectives of the fund are: to prioritise grassroots investments, making sure funds are spent to improve outcomes for women and where they are needed most; support women, in all their diversity, who face intersectional challenges within their communities, such as women in Māori, Pacific, rural, and migrant communities; and supporting the Government's priorities, such as ensuring healthy and safe communities, reducing family and sexual violence, and improving child wellbeing. Each organisation can apply for up to $50,000 of funding and applications are currently open until 1 October, and organisations can apply on the Ministry for Women's website.
