Community Member Information

New Zealand Institute for Rural Entrepreneurship

YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT YOUR TOWN

You work in the Not For Profit or volunteer change making environment

By becoming an NZIRE member (either as an individual or as a representative of your community group), you get access to a number of benefits that we offer.

Benefits for Community Members

Most people active in small towns that work in the NFP or volunteer sectors are overstretched and time poor.  They also struggle to keep their initiatives funded and scale the impact they have to bring about sustained change.  Becoming a member of the NZIRE Community Members network you have resources and a variety of ways to obtain funding and strengthen the impact of your efforts. You choose the frequency and pace of your engagement to add and extract value from participation.

GET INITIATIVES FUNDED

We opartner with small town change makers and groups to do fundraising and then provide project management and governance during execution.  By working with us you get access to a range of capabilities that can help you scale your initiative or start a new one.

SUPPLEMENT YOUR INCOME

We prioritise contracting local people that are members when we work on funded initiatives in small towns.  By becoming a member you get early access to these income generating opportunities.  You can get involved only locally, or more widely both nationally and internationally.

DISCOUNTED ACCESS

Members get significant discount on paid services we offer like courses, workshops, etc.  We also build partnerships where NZIRE starts to invest in your initiatives as our collaboration grows and becomes substantial.

A COMMUNITY BEYOND YOUR COMMUNITY

You become part of a community of change makers and regularly interact with, share learning, and collaborate with like-minded people.  This way you can take your successes further, learn from others’ failures, and build more substantial projects and initiatves together.
