This document provides information about the Nelson Community Panel and their funding priorities. The panel is made up of local residents and workers who recommend funding from the Community Development Foundation. Their priorities for funding include improving outcomes for young people, older people, the unemployed, and the local environment. They also want to bring different communities together. The panel has already funded several projects in these areas and provides information on how community groups can apply for funding.
