Wellbeing looks different for every community. That’s why we’re backing community-led ways to Top Up.
Top Up Community Grants are here to support initiatives grounded in the Five Ways to Wellbeing – Connect, Give, Take Notice, Be Active, and Keep Learning – that will create lasting ripples of wellbeing in communities across Aotearoa. Whether it’s a wānanga at the marae, a dance class at the local hall, starting a community garden, or something else entirely – you know what works best for the wellbeing of you, and the people around you.
Funding ranges from $10,000 to $40,000 per project, with a total of $250,000 available this year.
Applications are open from 7 October to 16 November 2025. If successful in your application, your project will have to start in February 2026 and be completed by 30 September 2026.
