Strategic Plan

To achieve our vision, we aim to fund across four focus areas.
Hāpai te ōritetanga | Increased Equity 
Whakauru mai | Social Inclusion  
Whakahou taiao | Regenerative Environment 
Hāpori awhina | Community Support 

Our Priorities

We take a considered approach across the four focus areas and prioritise initiatives that are clearly, ‘by’, ‘for’ and ‘with’ one or some of our priority communities. These include Tangata Whenua, Pacific peoples, communities of Northland, communities of South Auckland, children and young people, former refugees, new migrants, Rainbow communities and people living with a disability.

We are particularly interested in activities that have regard to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Climate Action.

If your organisation is outside the boundaries of our region, an application can still be considered if it will provide benefit to our region.

Please contact us to find out whether you should apply.

The Foundation's southern boundary is from Port Waikato Head following the Waikato River to the Whangamarino River, then along the Whangamarino River, before following the Mangatangi Stream to where it adjoins Mangatangi Road. The boundary then runs from the corner of Monument and Miranda Roads straight to Miranda. Our region covers all areas north of this, up to Cape Reinga and including the islands in the Hauraki Gulf.
