The Tindall Foundation

A family foundation working to build a stronger, more equitable Aotearoa New Zealand since 1994.

Together, our focus is on creating:

An Aotearoa where

Parents and caregivers are empowered and supported to provide the best start in life for their babies & young children

An Aotearoa where there is

Equitable & affordable access to life’s essential needs such as safe, secure housing/shelter, nourishing food and reliable energy  

An Aotearoa where

People know who they are and where they come from, feel safe in their identity and experience a strong sense of belonging  

An Aotearoa where

Communities are resourced and self-sufficient, driving local solutions and long-term wellbeing  

An Aotearoa where there is

Equitable access to opportunities and pathways that enable Rangatahi to lead empowered and self-determined lives

An Aotearoa where we have

Thriving, healthy, biodiverse ecosystems and clean energy that supports climate resilience, and sustains future generations
The Cause Collective

One community shaping Aotearoa’s tech future

The Cause Collective is creating pathways for South Auckland rangatahi to explore the industries shaping tomorrow. Through its community-led South Auckland Creative & Tech Hub, young people are gaining hands-on experience with emerging technologies, connecting with industry leaders, and discovering new possibilities for their futures.
By combining innovation, representation, and real-world opportunities, this kaupapa is helping build confidence, aspirations, and pathways into meaningful careers for the next generation.
Recently, more than 450 rangatahi stepped into this world during Techweek. Across two immersive days at the Wiri hub, they explored AI, robotics, virtual reality, gaming, cybersecurity, music technology, and digital storytelling – many for the very first time.
``With a helping hand up from The Tindall Foundation, we have been able to offer the South Auckland rangatahi an opportunity to explore, learn, and grow in an incredible industry that only has 4% Pasifika and 4.4% Māori participation.``
