Good practice in action: Support diversity
A third example is the Department of Internal Affairs’ Support for the Volunteer Fund. This has three components, one of which is funding for volunteering projects in Māori, Pacific, and ethnic communities. The fund recognises that volunteering occurs in a range of cultural contexts, and provides funding for projects that:
- promote information sharing, networking and development of resources that support Māori, Pacific, and ethnic volunteering
- respond to specific cultural values and needs, or
- encourage, recognise, and promote volunteers as community leaders.
