Nevertheless is a registered charity dedicated to empowering Māori, Pasifika, and Rainbow+/Takatāpui/LGBTQIA+ communities to live authentically and reach their full potential.

Our mission is Manioro (disrupt): disrupt stigma with connection and shame with love. We are anchored in Te Matau-ā-Māui, Hawkes Bay in Heretaunga, Hastings but deliver initiatives Nationally. Through our Manioro Nu'u Rainbow+ Hub, creative arts programs, entrepeneurship, leadership initiatives, and community events, we provide safe, inclusive spaces where people can thrive and be their true selves.

To keep this important work going, we rely on the generosity of people like you. By donating to Nevertheless Trust, you’ll help us continue to uplift marginalized voices, foster belonging, and build resilience within our communities.

Your support allows us to create lasting impact—whether it’s through youth leadership programs, arts initiatives, or events that celebrate Rainbow+ pride. Every donation makes a difference in the lives of those we serve.

Join us in making a future where love leads the way. Donate today, or start a fundraiser to help us continue our journey.
