Corporate Support

We are grateful to the local and regional businesses that generously support us throughout the year, offering their time, resources and skills to help us to realise our mission.

The gift of time

From the coast to the hills, our region is made up of incredibly diverse communities, each with its own identity, its own set of unique opportunities and challenges and organisations working to effect positive change on the ground. We are delighted to work alongside 40 volunteers based in Kāpiti, Wairarapa, Porirua and Wellington City to ensure our giving helps create change that is meaningful, practical and responsive to challenges happening on a hyperlocal level.

Thank you to our volunteers who give their time and expertise to help us stay connected and adapt our grant-making approach based on local needs.
