What a Community Group Fund Is

When you give to a Community Group Fund through the Acorn Foundation, your donation becomes a long-term investment in the wellbeing of your community. Instead of being spent once, the gift is invested and the returns are distributed each year, so the original capital remains intact, delivering reliable support into the future.

For Netball Waikato/BOP, this funding model makes a significant difference. It enables them to plan ahead, engage coaches and umpires, invest in training, procure equipment and host regional events with confidence. Your gift thereby helps build a stronger, more sustainable foundation for netball in our region, not just for one season, but for generations of players and community participants.

About Netball Waikato/BOP

Netball Waikato/BOP is the regional body working to grow passion, skill and community around netball across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. According to their listing, they “provide training for players, umpires and coaches; as well as providing online resources for coaching, equipment hire and use and organising regional events in the community.” 

From young players picking up their first netball, through to dedicated umpires and coaches helping others develop, this organisation is at the heart of one of New Zealand’s favourite community sports. Supporting the Netball Waikato/BOP fund means you’re contributing to more than games: you’re investing in connection, leadership, physical wellbeing, teamwork and opportunity for people of all ages in the Western Bay of Plenty and beyond.
