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.
Our Stores & Venues
Your support keeps our communities thriving. The money we distribute comes from surplus profits at our retail and hospitality businesses.
