The New Zealand Office for the Community and Voluntary Sector (OCVS) was established in 2003. It was administered by the Ministry of Social Development until February 2011, when it became part of the Department of Internal Affairs.

Purpose

The Office for the Community and Voluntary Sector's vision is for a strong community-government relationship. In practice, this means providing an accessible central contact point for government agencies in their work with the community and voluntary sector, and promoting good practice models between government agencies and their community sector partners.

Work Programme

As well as providing advice to the Minister and Associate Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector, the OCVS has five inter-related parts to its work programme:

supporting work to build the capacity of the sector, such as funding the Community Sector Taskforce to undertake community-driven initiatives
building knowledge about the community sector and volunteering, for example, work on the Study of the New Zealand Non-profit Sector that helped provide a clearer picture of the nature and extent of non-profit sector activity within New Zealand
providing other government agencies with advice on overcoming policy barriers and addressing issues of concern to the community and voluntary sector
actively supporting the development and promotion of good practice by government agencies when engaging with or funding the sector, for example through the ‘good practice in action’ seminar series.
promoting generosity - the giving of time and money - such as working with Volunteering New Zealand to help promote International Volunteer Day and Volunteer Awareness Week, and with Inland Revenue to inform people about payroll giving.

Some key facts about [https://web.archive.org/web/20090403130850/http://www.ocvs.govt.nz/work-programme/building-knowledge/subsector-facts.html New Zealand’s non-profit sector: ]

It has more than 97,000 non-profit organisations.
New Zealand’s non-profit sector contributes 2.6% to GDP.
This increases to $6.95 billion (or 4.9% of GDP) when taking into account the volunteer labour contribution. (This is similar to the contribution of the entire construction industry.)
The sector contains more than 1.2 million volunteers who give more than 270 million hours of unpaid labour to the sector.
Non-profits have over 105,000 paid employees – but only 10% of all non-profit organisations employ paid staff (the other 90% rely entirely on volunteers).

Publications and resources

The Office for the Community and Voluntary Sector operates two "toolkit sites" to assist New Zealand public servants in their work with community and voluntary sector organisations:

Good Practice Participate
Good Practice Funding
