The Foundation funds the work of an amazing range of charities across New Zealand.
The Foundation has to date focused its charitable giving across four core areas: the environment, youth development, education, and homelessness and hunger. Most of the funding has been directed through medium and long-term charity partnerships, with the remainder allocated to smaller, one-off grants.
Below are some of the major charity partners supported so far. The Foundation has also run a special Christmas funding round, supporting local frontline charities during the holiday season.
