Keeping it local

From Huia to Whenuapai and everywhere in between, The Trusts are all about keeping things local in our communities.

That’s why our surplus profits go right back into local schools, community groups, businesses, and people who are dedicated to helping our place thrive.

Owned by the community. Run by the community. For the community.

Our Funds

There are five avenues for funding with The Trusts.

These avenues for funding provide various opportunities for local organisations, individuals, and projects to access resources and support from The Trusts to advance their goals and contribute to positive change in our community and beyond.
