One donation, generations of impact.
Give back for today, tomorrow and long into the future.
No matter whether you’re passionate about environmental conservation, youth development, or supporting our community’s most vulnerable, giving through a Nikau Foundation fund gives you the opportunity to support the causes you love, long-term.
As your donation will be responsibly invested, grown and protected, like we have shown below, it will continue to create meaningful change for our communities in 50, 100 or even 200 years. It quite literally is the gift that keeps on giving!
The gift that grows.
Nikau understands that healthy, happy, thriving communities require long-term, sustainable support and resources. Through our model, your gift will be invested and grown so it continues to support the people and places of Te Upoko-o-te-Ika-a-Maui, the Greater Wellington region, forever.
