Hospice Whanganui's new development is $8500 better off, thanks to a donation from the Wanganui Fire Brigade's 150th jubilee fund.
The jubilee was held in 2016 but the remaining funds are just being wound up, spokesman Bryan Barkla said.
"The majority of what we have given to Hospice is left over from the national golf tournament we hosted at the end of last year," Mr Barkla said.
"Once the celebrations were over we had to decide what to do with the surplus funds. All our crews were asked for their opinion and we had quite a number of suggestions but the common theme was Hospice along with other organisations.
"We decided to donate the entire $8500 to Hospice. Some of our staff over the years have used the facilities at Hospice and most of the team thought Hospice was a worthy recipient. We approached Hospice to see what it would be best to spend the money on because we thought it would be better if it was one larger item rather than lots of smaller ones."
