The Otago Regional Council (ORC) approved funding for
eleven projects totalling nearly $125,000 through its ECO
Fund today.
The ECO Fund (Environment, Community,
Otago) is a contestable fund supporting community-driven
projects that protect, enhance and promote Otago’s
environment. $250,000 is available for community projects
over two rounds of funding per year, in March and
October.
To date, the ECO Fund has supported 65
community projects to the tune of nearly
$630,000.
There were 25 applications seeking nearly
$300,000 in this round. Including the November round, the
2020/21 year has seen the most applications since the ECO
Fund was established in 2018.
