Playgroup funding handbook
This Handbook sets out the conditions on which funding payments are made to playgroups.
Who is the handbook for?
The Playgroup Funding Handbook applies to all playgroups funded by the Ministry of Education. In particular, it is intended for the management committees of these playgroups.
Funding types
There are two types of funding for playgroups. Firstly, Playgroup Funding, which is a general grant available to all eligible playgroups to assist with ongoing operational costs. Secondly, the Special Grant is a discretionary grant paid to assist playgroups to meet 'one off' large operational costs. Information about eligibility, the conditions that govern the funding and applying for these funding types can be found in this Handbook.
