Karāti Whaiora ā-Hapori

We’re looking 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.

Some of the organisations that have received grants in the past are:

  • The Masterton Young Citizens Club to help towards operational costs
