Over two decades, the Foundation had supported more than 5,000 initiatives, incredible people all working incredibly hard. To celebrate, five organisations supported by the Tindall Foundation were honoured at Government House for their incredible contributions and tireless work to make New Zealand a better place for all:
- PACE NZ Trust: Supporting the development of New Zealand’s youngest children, laying foundations for long-term wellbeing. The one could be included in the year it was established
- New Zealand Housing Foundation: Enabling hundreds of families to access affordable housing, improving health, education, and community engagement.
- Mountains to Sea Conservation Trust: Inspiring behavioural change through deeper understanding of our marine environment.
- Project Lyttelton: Fostering vibrant, sustainable community living — a mission made even more vital post-earthquake.
- Acorn Foundation & Community Foundations of NZ: Championing the power of endowment funds to create lasting community impact.
“When we established The Tindall Foundation in 1995, we hoped that we could use our money to help make a difference for New Zealand and New Zealanders, if only in a small way. We knew our money would be a drop in the ocean compared to the need in our country. None of this would have been possible without the tireless work of all the individuals and organisations that devote their time to building stronger, healthier and more resilient communities. They are the real heroes in our story.” – Stephen & Margaret Tindall
