COMMUNITY ACTION on ALCOHOL FUND (CAAF)

Objectives of the Fund

The objectives of the CAAF are to support community action projects that reduce alcohol-related harm. Preference will be given to projects that:

target ALAC’s priority population groups (i.e. Māori, Pacific peoples and Young people)
assist ALAC’s strategic direction and messages to be echoed, made relevant and acted on in local communities
build local leadership and community ownership and commitment to the prevention of alcohol-related harm and support local change (including training and development initiatives)
encourage community organisations to work collaboratively to prevent alcohol-related harm.

Who can apply?

Organisations may apply for funding from ALAC’s CAAF provided they are non-profit or charitable organisations. This includes:

community organisation trustees
for example Charitable Trusts, Marae Trustees, Incorporated societies
community organisations
this may include both incorporated or unincorporated organisations and networks, such as collaborative networks of community organisations that work in the alcohol harm prevention field

Individuals may not apply for funding.

To be eligible for funding, you must:

be community based and work with or for communities (for example, not just be the local face of a national programme)
work towards achieving one or more of ALAC’s objectives.

How to apply

There is a two-stage application process for applying for CAAF funding.

In stage one, interested organisations submit a Summary Application for ALAC’s consideration. A Summary Application is a short document that provides brief information about the organisation applying for funding and a summary of the proposed project. ALAC assesses Summary Applications against the Eligibility Criteria set out in the Application Information and Frequently Asked Questions. ALAC then indentifies a short-list of eligible applicants.
In stage two of the funding application process, organisations whose projects have been short-listed are invited by ALAC to provide a detailed funding application that describes the proposed project and associated budget in detail (a Detailed Application). ALAC assesses each Detailed Application against the assessment criteria set out in the Application Information and Frequently Asked Questions and selects a portfolio of projects for funding.

Please read the Application Information and Frequently Asked Questions carefully to check that your organisation and project are eligible for funding before applying. Then download the Summary Application Form as a word file, save to your computer, fill out, attach the required signatures and deliver by post or courier as a hard copy to:
