What a year it has been! Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Acorn Foundation has been able to grant over $5.1 million to more than 300 local charities across the Western Bay of Plenty. Behind those numbers are real people and real stories: families supported, rangatahi given new opportunities, and community groups enabled to carry out their vital mahi.

The AGM is a chance for us to come together as a community—looking back on the year, sharing updates from our Board and Committees, and most importantly, celebrating the incredible impact your generosity is making across our region.
