Projects requesting over $80,000 in funding require a scoping report. It is generally expected that applicants will prepare scoping reports for projects over $80,000 at their own cost. However, where larger projects involving significant complexity or cross sector dialogue and collaboration are involved a request to the Programme to fund a scoping report may be appropriate. Application Form 3 should be used to seek funding for such reports. Where you have completed a scoping report independently this should be attached to your application on Form 2.

Applications for Scoping Reports can be submitted to the Fund at any time. The application will be considered by the Steering Committee and the decision will be relayed to the applicant outside of normal funding cycles. However, prior discussion with the TFBIS team is recommended – please email an outline to tfbis@doc.govt.nz.

What are Scoping Reports?

Scoping Reports should provide the Programme with the Business Case for the project. This should be guided by the Strategy and applicants should ensure the report is comprehensive. Here are some headings that may be appropriate to your project (Word).
