Rainbow New Zealand Charitable Trust

The Rainbow New Zealand Charitable Trust is the cheerleader, advocate, and nurturing partner of Aotearoa New Zealand's Rainbow communities.

Since 1999, we have invested more than $950,000 into LGBTTQIA+ and MVPFAFF+ communities across New Zealand, supporting grassroots organisations, Pride events, scholarships, wellbeing initiatives, community programmes and projects that help Rainbow people thrive.

We believe strong communities change lives. That's why we invest in the people, organisations and ideas that foster connection, belonging, visibility, safety and opportunity.

Your support helps us:

🌈 Fund grassroots Rainbow organisations doing vital work in their communities

🌈 Support Pride events that bring people together and celebrate who we are

🌈 Invest in future leaders through our Rainbow Scholarship Programme

🌈 Strengthen communities through grants, partnerships and community initiatives

🌈 Create opportunities for Rainbow people to connect, belong and flourish

Over the last 25 years, we have proudly supported hundreds of organisations, projects and individuals. From helping young people access tertiary education, to supporting local Pride celebrations, to funding community-led initiatives, every grant helps build a stronger future for Rainbow communities.

As we approach the milestone of $1 million invested back into Rainbow communities, we remain committed to ensuring our communities have the resources they need to thrive.

Every donation makes a difference.

Your support helps young LGBTTQIA+ and MVPFAFF+ people achieve their dreams, brings our communities together, and uplifts the organisations making a difference every day.

Be Part of the Change. Stand with Us. Give with Pride. 🌈
