Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service
What a Community Group Fund Is
When you support a Community Group Fund at the Acorn Foundation, you’re choosing to give in a way that grows with the community. Instead of a donation being spent once and gone, the gift is invested and the returns are distributed annually, so the original capital remains untouched and the charity receives a steady stream of income.
For the Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service, this kind of fund makes a real-difference: reliable funding enables them to plan ahead, maintain equipment, support volunteer training, and provide full-time roles or specialist support. In doing so, your contribution becomes part of a lasting foundation of safety and protection for our local beaches, not just something that helps today, but something that helps every year to come.
About the Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service
At the base of the iconic Mauao in the beautiful Western Bay of Plenty, the Mount Maunganui Lifeguard Service has stood sentinel over our coastline for more than 95 years. With over 500 volunteer members, they patrol Main Beach, Mauao and Pilot Bay, spending thousands of hours each season on lifesaving duties and offering a 24-hour emergency response squad all year round.
Their work is about more than just rescues. Each year they undertake preventative actions to keep swimmers safe, assist with first aid, support search-and-rescue operations, and help other emergency services when incidents happen.
