We want to give more certainty to community groups for activities that align well with our community outcomes and from next financial year propose to enter into partnership arrangements for multi-year or operational funding.
This will also make it clear the amount of grant budget that has been allocated to such arrangements and how much contestable funds remain for other applications.
Other changes to the policy include amendments to the eligibility and assessment criteria so that we can support those causes most important to us and bringing Community Board and Māori Standing Committee grants together under the one policy.

Prince Philip, who died on Friday aged 99, first earned his wings in a de Havilland Chipmunk two-seater that still frequently takes to the air over Wairarapa.
It's current owner, Masterton pilot Bevan Dewes, 27, was a similar age to the duke when the then 30-year-old embarked on his training with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1952.
The Chipmunk, now housed in a hangar at Hood Aerodrome, proudly bears the royal insignia and Dewes has pulled together a fascinating dossier of its former life, including letters from the prince.

Both lionesses had been closely monitored by veterinary staff over the past 18 months due to age-related health concerns, and Djane’s health recently deteriorated.
Lions have been part of Wellington Zoo community since it opened in 1906, when the Zoo was gifted a male lion called King Dick.
Wellington Zoo said it would look at starting a new pride of lions in the future, but it was likely to be awhile until a firm plan was in place.

"The variety of plumage at the moment on young birds as they transition into their adult feathers is amazing. I think a few years ago I would have thought of starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) as a dozen different species if I thought of them at all. Many of the new generation still have their brown heads, but are developing their star-spangled chest feathers. Mature feathers coming in on their backs are beautiful, with pale brown borders and the middles an iridescent green in the sunlight. Nature is an artist."
