Am I eligible to apply in the February round for funds to pay for a South Island tour that starts in April?
Creative New Zealand does not fund retrospectively: that is, reimburse you for expenses incurred for projects that start, or are substantially progressed, before the grant decisions are made. It is worth remembering when you are planning your project that there is a three-month assessment period between the closing date of applications and the notification of the grants. Although the project should not be completed before this time, we appreciate that you will be preparing for and working on the project during this time. For instance, you could submit an application for the February round for funding towards manufacturing and distribution costs for a new recording scheduled for release after May, even if the recording is scheduled to take place in April.
