Tindall Foundation Funding
We are proud to act as a Local Donation Manager for The Tindall Foundation, distributing donations to support community-led initiatives in both the Western Bay of Plenty and Eastern Bay of Plenty communities.
Each year, we receive an allocation of funds from The Tindall Foundation to distribute within these areas in line with their giving approach and focus areas.
Services and initiatives we support through this partnership will align with The Tindall Foundation’s commitment to Intergenerational Wellbeing for Aotearoa and contribute to their key outcomes. The Tindall Foundation focus on parents, carers and young children, equitable access to life’s essential needs, identity and social cohesion, rangatahi empowerment and pathways, and resourced communities.
