Wanganui's community groups have only a short time left to apply for Wanganui District Council funding through the community contracts.
Applications for community contracts close on Monday, July 30, with $150,000 up for grabs.
The programme is a funding stream to community organisations which provide service initiatives supporting the council's 10-year plan; provide benefit to the wider Wanganui community; and increase community capacity in the Wanganui community.
One recent recipient of community contracts funding was the Yes 2 Youth Trust, which received $11,000 for its Ake Ake Youth Centre.
Yes 2 Youth director Dot Greenfield said the funding enabled her organisation to employ a part-time co-ordinator for the centre, which opened in October 2011.
