Applications are now open for multiple funding opportunities at Masterton District Council.

The Community Wellbeing Fund, Community Event Fund, Climate Action Fund, and Youth Micro-grants are all currently taking applications.

Community Development Team Leader Kelsi Rutene encourages people to apply “we know there are people doing great things in Masterton, these funding options are here to help our community organisations take the lead.”

“It’s getting harder for groups to keep doing the work that brings us together. If people have ideas but aren’t sure about applying, we’d encourage them to get in touch with us – we're happy to help”.

Application forms and information sheets can be found on the Council website. Hard copies can be picked up from the Customer Service Centre, 161 Queen Street or Masterton District Library, 54 Queen Street.

Anyone who may need help or advice about making an application can contact the Community Development team by emailing communitydevelopment@mstn.govt.nz or calling 06 370 6300.
