The funding was for Take 10, a group that helps drunk people stay out of trouble.
On Sunday, Foster told Stuff he supported providing funding. On Wednesday, however, he voted against it.
He said the proposed cost had risen by $15,000 to $95,000 and he was no longer prepared to support it.
His no vote was not enough to stop the funding, which the majority of councillors supported.
Councillor Fleur Fitzsimons, who chaired the grants committee, voted in favour of the increased funding.
“The extension of Take 10 to Friday nights is one step towards reducing alcohol-related harm and violence on Courtenay Place,” she said.
