Acorn Foundation
Connecting generous people with causes that matter in the Western Bay of Plenty region since 2003
Bay of Plenty
The Acorn Foundation is one of 18 community foundations across Aotearoa New Zealand that provide a unique way of charitable giving.
Our Smarter Giving Model involves pooling and collectively investing our donors’ funds, so that the capital in the fund remains intact, while a portion of the income is distributed annually to the local community. This means that our donors’ gifts continue to give back to causes close to their hearts, forever.
Many of our 450+ donors have set up endowments that leave money to the community when they die, while other donors get a lot of pleasure out of seeing their money at work while they are still alive. Donors can choose to support the community through local charitable organisations in the WBOP or by establishing scholarships and awards.
