Circus Kumarani has offered a big thank you to all of the funding groups and organisations that have allowed them to continue their mission of fun, spectacle and teaching skills and confidence. As recipients of a disbursement from the Kaipara District Council’s community grants fund recently, the management of Dargaville’s circus took the opportunity to acknowledge all of those that have helped. This list includes the KDC’s Community Organisation Grants Scheme, Foundation North, the Ministry of Education through the Creatives in Schools project, New Zealand Lottery Grants Board, Northland Community Foundation, Sport Northland and the Whangārei District Council through Creative Communities NZ.
