Homes of Hope

What a Community Group Fund is

A Community Group Fund with The Acorn Foundation offers a deeply meaningful and sustainable way to support a local charity for the long term. When you make a gift to this kind of fund, your donation is invested alongside others. Each year, a portion of the investment returns is distributed to the chosen organisation, while the original capital remains intact and continues working in perpetuity.

For Homes of Hope, this dependable structure means they will receive a reliable stream of income year after year. That stability enables them to plan ahead with confidence, to maintain and develop their whānau-style therapeutic homes, keep siblings together, provide high-quality wrap-around care, invest in specialist staff and counselling, and build lasting capacity for the children in their care.

About Homes of Hope

Homes of Hope is a Tauranga-based charitable trust delivering therapeutic, child-centred care for tamariki who have experienced abuse, neglect or trauma.  They are committed to keeping brothers and sisters together in stable whānau-style homes rather than moving children from placement to placement. 

Their mission is to see children safe in strong families and responsive communities, free from abuse or neglect.  Through a holistic therapeutic approach, focusing on physical, emotional, spiritual, social well-being, attachment, education and belonging, they walk alongside children and their whānau on the journey to healing. 

By supporting this Community Group Fund, you are investing in transformational care within our region: enabling Homes of Hope to sustain and expand its vital work, continue keeping siblings together, and give children a more hopeful start in life.
