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!

The Upper Waitematā Marine Centre is a community-built space offering youth training programmes, boat storage, and event spaces for everyone in the north-west.
Whether you're keen on dinghy sailing, SUPs, or just connecting with the water, this is your new go-to spot on the harbour.
While this was not a project funded by The Trusts, we're always excited to share and celebrate positive developments happening across The West that strengthen community connection and opportunity.
