Taranaki is a special place. Around our maunga an energy exists — driving passionate people across our rohe to get things done, to improve lives, and create the best of New Zealand, here in Taranaki.
Taranaki Foundation is born of this same drive and commitment. A charitable community foundation created for the people of Taranaki, by the people of Taranaki, our vision is to nurture and grow the prosperity of our region through community giving, partnerships and philanthropy.
After nearly five years of collaboration and community effort, Destination Kāwaroa is officially complete. The completion of all three stages marks a major milestone, delivering a vibrant and accessible new heart to the Taranaki coastline.
“Many told me it would be too hard, but the community backing tells another story. Magic happens when people come together, and together, we’ve created something that will be enjoyed for generations” – Bryce Barnett.
"Our home and heart is in Taranaki. Taranaki Foundation is about creating pathways to leave a lasting gift for the benefit of Taranaki people."Phil Hinton - Chair, Taranaki Foundation
