Wakatipu Community Foundation

The Wakatipu Community Foundation pools and invests donors’ funds and we partner with our donors to support those organisations and causes nearest to their hearts to ensure that support can continue forever. It’s about making a difference. It’s about leaving YOUR local legacy. The Wakatipu Community Foundation was born from the recognition that we all benefit if we live in a caring community with strong ties and diverse opportunities.

We have deep roots in the Wakatipu. We pair our strong relationships with our decades of expertise to invest in an array of important charitable causes that improve the quality of life for the whole community.

By delivering grants, building partnerships and strengthening the capacity of non-profits, the Wakatipu Community Foundation will use your donation to make the Wakatipu the best place in the world to live.

We have developed a straightforward set-up process and a structure that you can plug into without any of the hassle of registering and running a separate charity.

We are ready-to-go with our experienced trustees and external professional partners who are very experienced in funds management for community trusts.

We can work alongside your professional advisors to offer personalised expertise and design the most effective strategy for fulfilling your philanthropic passions.
