Recipient Stories
Every year, thanks to the generosity of our donors, meaningful change is happening right across the Western Bay of Plenty.
Since 2003, Acorn Foundation has distributed more than $25 million to local charities, community groups, and individuals, supporting everything from youth development and mental wellbeing to housing, education, and the arts.
Behind every grant is a story. Stories of resilience, opportunity, and people coming together to make our community stronger.
