Creative NZ, Creative Communities Scheme

The team at SmartyGrants have established a suite of template SmartyGrants forms and reports to support your administration of the Creative NZ Creative Communities Scheme in your account. These will reduce the time for you to implement the program and prepare reports for submission to Creative NZ. Not only will these drive efficiencies, they are also available as part of your annual subscription fee.

Why use the templates?

These templates have been designed to help you kickstart the form and report design process for administering your Creative Communities Program, allowing you to:

  • Collect applications with minimal effort
  • Assess applications within SmartyGrants including any conflict-of-interest detail
  • Populate notification letters with ease
  • Collect project completion reports from funded applicants
  • Report to Creative NZ on applicants with a few clicks

How to access the templates?

  1. Choose or create a program within your account where you would like the template forms copied.
  2. Reach out to [email protected] requesting the Creative NZ form and report templates and let us know the number and name of the program you created.
  3. We will copy the template forms into your SmartyGrants account.
  4. Download the Report Templates and upload these into your Template Reports area.
  5. Test, adapt and use the templates as you wish!

We've created a Guidance Note for you to use when adapting the form and templates, should you need to adapt them for your own programming.

Feedback

We will periodically release updated versions of the forms and reports and notify you when the new versions are available. If you would like to provide feedback to our team, please email your feedback to [email protected].

We’ll also be working with Creative NZ to ensure any changes they make to the forms and reporting requirements are reflected quickly and help improve the capture and reporting of information related to the Creative Communities Scheme.
