Rotary Club of Pāpāmoa Charitable Trust

What a Community Group Fund is

A Community Group Fund with the Acorn Foundation offers local organisations the opportunity to build lasting, dependable support for their work. Rather than relying only on year-by-year fundraising or uncertain grants, contributions to the fund are invested and the annual returns provide a stable income stream.

This kind of financial stability allows an organisation to plan ahead with confidence, hiring staff if needed, maintaining and upgrading infrastructure, and focusing less on urgent fundraising and more on meaningful impact.

By giving to a Community Group Fund, you’re helping to secure the future of the organisation and its place in the community.

About Rotary Club of Pāpāmoa Charitable Trust

Since 2008, the Rotary Club of Pāpāmoa has been rooted in the suburb of Pāpāmoa, serving both this coastal community and the nearby town of Te Puke.  Their volunteer members roll up their sleeves to deliver projects that make a real difference: neighbourhood clean-ups, support for local schools, building park facilities and shelters. Working in partnership with major charitable organisations such as the NZ Blood Service, St John, the J R McKenzie Youth Education Fund and Waipūna Hospice, the club contributes to services that affect many lives. 

Fundraising is a key part of what they do: from their annual charity golf tournament to movie nights and themed dinners, they raise funds that go directly into supporting people of all ages, with a strong focus on youth development, leadership programmes, scholarships, and promoting environmental awareness in schools. 

By donating to this Fund, you’re backing a group that has both ambition and heart: one that invests in people, places, and a thriving community now and into the future.
