Who benefits? You get to choose.

Regular Giving through Taranaki Foundation allows your charitable giving to have a bigger impact, collectively.

Deciding how to make the greatest impact with your giving can feel challenging. Regular Giving is an easy and meaningful way to donate a little, often –  combining your gift with others to create greater impact across Taranaki.

By giving through Taranaki Foundation, your generosity is carefully managed, invested and distributed to support the causes that matter most to you. We make giving simple, flexible, and tax-effective, so you can give with confidence, knowing your support is making a real difference.

 

Give through your Superannuation

One meaningful and often overlooked way to begin your giving journey is Regular Giving through your superannuation.

If you’re fortunate enough not to need the full amount to support your retirement, redirecting some or all of your super can be a powerful way to give back. It’s also a meaningful way to create lasting support for the causes you care about most.

Your gift is pooled with others and managed by Taranaki Foundation, creating greater impact across the community.

Give to a Community Fund

You can make a one-off or regular gift to one or more of Taranaki Foundation’s Established Community Funds.

These Funds are created by local schools, charities, and community groups to provide long-term financial support for their causes, helping ensure their important work can continue now and for generations to come.

Community Funds connect donors like you with local groups, helping build a more vibrant and prosperous region for everyone. By pooling your gift with others, you help build the Fund’s capital, enabling it to grow and support the essential work of these organisations.

Workplace Giving

Workplace Giving is a simple, lasting way for your business to demonstrate leadership and corporate responsibility while creating a positive giving culture.

Donations are made directly through payroll, making it effortless for employees — with an immediate 33% tax benefit and no need to keep receipts.

Employers can choose to match employee contributions, amplifying the impact of every gift.

Partnering with Taranaki Foundation makes Workplace Giving straightforward, so you can quickly start supporting the causes that matter most in your community.

 

Have a few questions?

Taranaki Foundation Workplace giving programme let employees donate a set amount each pay. Because it comes directly from pre-tax pay, it gives most people immediate tax savings and means they don’t need to save receipts for their tax return.

Employers often match employee contributions to help make an even bigger impact.

Your regular donations through payroll giving to the Taranaki Foundation will help help us to respond to needs in our community both now and forever.

  • Help your client create a permanent legacy by establishing a Named Fund.

  • Most of our Community Funds are Named Funds (see below), although it is possible to set up a Community Fund under a Pass Through or Combined model as well.
  • The community group that establishes a Fund sets the agenda and determines the groups and work that benefit from it.
  • Once established, anyone can donate any amount they choose to a Community Fund (provided they meet the criteria set out by the people who established it).
  • Community Funds automatically qualify to be part of our Workplace Giving scheme which encourages businesses and employees throughout the region to make regular contributions to the Funds managed by Taranaki Foundation. Find out more about Workplace Giving here.

You can choose to set up your own Named Fund or to contribute to any existing General, Community or Named Fund whose focus best reflects the causes, groups and work you are most passionate about. Read more about establishing a Named Fund here or browse the existing Funds you can donate to here.

Any donation you make will be prudently invested by Taranaki Foundation and each year income earned will be distributed to the community according to the terms of the Fund you’ve chosen.  Your donation becomes part of the Fund’s capital and remains untouched – so your gift keeps on giving year after year after year.
