What a Community Group Fund Is

When you decide to give to a Community Group Fund through the Acorn Foundation, you’re making a gift that grows in strength and consistency. Your donation is invested, and the income it produces is distributed each year, while the original capital remains untouched. This means that instead of a one-off burst of funding, local charities receive a stable annual income they can depend on.

For Multicultural Tauranga, this kind of financial foundation matters enormously. It allows the organisation to plan with confidence, prepare for the year ahead, retain or engage dedicated staff, and expand its services to support migrants and newcomers throughout the Western Bay of Plenty. In short: your contribution becomes a lasting piece of community infrastructure, not just a single moment of support.

About Multicultural Tauranga

Multicultural Tauranga acts as the central hub and voice for migrants and ethnic communities in Tauranga Moana, promoting cultural diversity, supporting newcomers, and strengthening community cohesion. 

Each year they help thousands of people settle into Aotearoa, providing information, advocacy, driving lessons, English language classes, free counselling, cultural events and much more. 

If you’re thinking about supporting this cause, imagine a young family arriving in Tauranga, uncertain of where to turn or how to belong. Your donation means that for them, there is a welcoming space, someone who understands the language of immigration, culture and belonging – someone ready to support them. By giving to this fund, you’re investing in a community where all cultures live safely, in harmony and with dignity.
