Donation Streams

We make donations in three ways:

Local Donation Managers

Are you a local organisation seeking a donation for a local community or environmental project?

For local donations to support communities across Aotearoa, apply to one of our Local Donation Managers. These on-the-ground-organisations give away donations of $500–$15,000 on our behalf to causes that fit within our Whānau/Family and Environmental Focus Areas.
