Masterton Trust Lands Trust

Masterton Trust Lands Trust Masterton Trust Lands Trust is a community-owned property trust, established in 1872. Income from Trust-owned property is used to fund our grant programme.

Masterton Trust Lands Trust is a unique community-owned property trust, established in 1871 to own and manage surplus land not sold to Masterton’s working class settlers. The original £165 parcel value of the trust lands has grown into a significant holding of commercial land and buildings in and around the centre of Masterton, valued at more than $74 million. We now lease 80 properties to around 100 local, national and international tenants. We continue to develop and refurbish property to meet the specific needs of new and existing tenants. Income from property rentals is returned to the local community in the form of grants for educational, cultural and community activities.

Ngā Iwi Aho-Rua o Wairarapa, e mihi ana!

Masterton Trust Lands Trust was honoured to host our whanaunga from Ngā iwi Aho-Rua o Wairarapa, Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa and Rangitane o Wairarapa, for a meaningful wānanga focused on areas of shared interest, future collaboration, and opportunities to strengthen relationships across Whakaoriori-Masterton.

We are grateful for the kōrero, insights and wairua of partnership shared, and look forward to continuing to work together in ways that uphold the aspirations of whānau, hapū and iwi and all communities living in our town.

Targeted Education grants are for community not-for-profit education providers that offer programmes within the Trust district.

Community Grassroots grants are for local and national not-for-profit groups that offer vital services, events, programmes, and activities within the Trust district.

Community Impact grants are for the same purpose as the Grassroots grants, but with the higher grant amount, there is a higher threshold of information required at both the application and accountability stages.

Career Change Scholarships support adults undertaking a change of career. If you have been working in a job or career and are retraining with a NZ tertiary education provider, you may be eligible. This is not intended as a school-leaver scholarship.

Information on the boundaries of the Trust district can be found here: https://mtlt.org.nz/about/trust-district/

📣 Big news for our Masterton shop

We’re moving to a new, larger space and creating a Hospice Wairarapa “super store”.

We’ve outgrown our current space, and this move gives us the room to do more with every donation we receive.

Our new store, located on the corner of Dixon and Russell Streets, will allow us to:
🔵 Stock a wider range of items, including furniture
🔵 Create a better shopping experience
🔵 Improve how we sort and process donations
🔵 Return more funds to provide hospice services

This is an exciting step forward, helping ensure we can continue providing free hospice services to our community. A big thank you goes to Masterton Trust Lands Trust, their generosity and support made this opportunity possible. 👏👏👏

📅 Current shop closes: 4 May
🎉 New store opens: Saturday 9 May - join us for opening day. Details will follow!
