Community Wellbeing Grant

Karāti Whaiora ā-Hapori

The Community Wellbeing Grant for the 2024/25 funding year is now closed. Applications will open again in July 2025.

We look for organisations that are taking an active role in building our future and improving our community’s wellbeing. We want to help organisations and community groups to keep doing the things that make Masterton a great place to live.

If you need help finding the right grant and making an application, our Community Development team can help you, just email communitydevelopment@mstn.govt.nz
