Carterton District Council is inviting applications for our annual community grants, with funding available to support projects that make a positive difference in our district and across the Wairarapa region.

Local and regional community groups, organisations, and initiatives are encouraged to apply. There are two funding streams available:

  • Local Grants – for groups based in and operating within the Carterton District, delivering benefits directly to our local community.

  • Regional Grants – for organisations working across the wider Wairarapa region whose projects provide value to Carterton residents as part of their broader impact.

Whether you’re planning an event, launching a new programme, or growing an existing initiative, we’d love to hear from you.

Applications close Wednesday 31 July 2025.
