Taranaki Foundation walks with you through the process. Creating a Named Fund with Taranaki Foundation has many benefits including:
Taranaki Foundation takes the time to get to know you so we can create the perfect Fund for you.
We will sit down with you and talk through your options and preferences including when to donate (during your lifetime or as part of your will), what causes you would like to support, and how much you would like to give.
Your Named Fund can be established with a one-off donation of $50,000 or more, or through a series of donations over an agreed period of time (with grants beginning to be distributed once your Fund reaches $50,000).
We have the templates, documents and advice and will work with your legal adviser to establish your Fund as easily and efficiently as possible.
No matter how you choose to give, you can be sure that your generosity will make a real, lasting difference to the causes and people you are passionate about within our region.
We’d love to connect with you and talk about how we can help you help your community.
Setting up your own Named Fund is really easy. When you get in touch, we will meet with you to find out about you and your charitable aspirations. Taranaki Foundation is very much donor led, so we can tailor your Fund to reflect your values and priorities. Find out more about establishing your own Named Fund 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.
If you want to donate in a different way, contact us now to discuss options.
Many of our donors already have relationships with specific charities that they want to continue. This is very easy — we simply “tag” your Named Fund with any charities you wish to support (and then make sure funding goes to them, as specified, each and every year). These tagged funds are managed by Taranaki Foundation and are held at arm’s length to the charity they benefit.
Charities and community groups love tagged donations because they know they can rely on the annual funding and plan accordingly. Also, because we (as opposed to the charity) have the capital on our books, the charity is usually not excluded from applying for funding from other sources.
