We work with a range of amazing local causes, projects and organisations so you can support the mahi close to your home and your heart.
Giving through Taranaki Foundation ensures your generosity stays local, supporting the people, projects and causes that make our region thrive. With deep local knowledge and expertise, we help direct your giving to initiatives you care about most, making your philanthropy personal and meaningful.
Your gift is carefully invested to protect and grow its value over time, meaning even a one-off donation can create lasting impact for generations to come. Through clear annual reporting, you can see exactly how our fund is performing and where distributions are making a difference.
Supported by experienced trustees and robust granting and investment policies, Taranaki Foundation ensures your giving is expertly managed and securely governed. With a 33.3 percent tax credit available for donations made during your lifetime, giving back to your community is not only impactful but rewarding too.
Create your own Named Fund and have your donation and legacy live on now and into forever, supporting work you are passionate about. Establishing a Fund in your name provides you with the opportunity to personally tailor your giving while your contributions continue to be managed and grown.
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.
Taranaki Foundation can take over the management of existing Charitable Trusts by creating them a fund within the Foundation. Taranaki Foundation ensures the purpose and management of the Trust continues while your gift grows and generates a reliable income stream making a difference for generations to come.
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.
There are two ways that you can give through your business:
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.
Corporate Giving enables businesses to give through a Named Fund, local sponsorship and donations or by supporting employees through Workplace Giving. Plans can be tailored to support your individual business values, motivations and goals.
Partnering with Taranaki Foundation makes Business Giving straightforward, so you can quickly start supporting the causes that matter most in your community.
