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 support from The Trusts.
Our Support and Innovation Funds help local community organisations handle major projects, cover operational costs and foster new initiatives.
For a little extra helping hand throughout the year our smaller Supporter’s Club and Community Donations provide a boost to local projects while our Sponsorships bring extra funds to businesses working to enhance The West.
If you need help to bring about positive change in our community find out how we can support you or get in touch!

Michael Howell's guitar has been in his family since he was small enough to mistake it for a toy and Charmian Keay's violin spends most of its time with the Auckland Philharmonia.
They brought both to Corban Estate for three songs and a chat about improvised music, growing up local and the impact of the creative community out West.

From the Whau to Hendo, our rangatahi are about to take over The West! 📸
This Friday 19 June, Zeal are running their Whau to Hendo Photo Scavenger Hunt, an afternoon adventure that brings up to 200 young people together to explore their community in a whole new way. Teams will travel from New Lynn Memorial Square through Railside Ave and Catherine Plaza, finishing at Zeal West Auckland in Henderson for kai, music, and prizegiving.
Inspired by the spirit of Matariki, it's a chance for rangatahi to connect, get creative, and celebrate where they've come from and where they're heading next.
We're proud to back Zeal's kaupapa through our Your West Support Fund. Ka rawe, Zeal team!
