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!

'Maybe it's just my songs, but they ache a little bit. That's how I describe my music.'
This NZ Music Month we're not just putting on a pop-up venue at Corban Estate Arts Centre, we're also celebrating our sounds and our spaces with some incredible local artists performing in iconic locations around The West!
First up, the incredible Na'amah brings her soulful and personal sound to the stunning Cornwallis Beach. Check out the full video on YouTube now featuring three original songs and a chat about writing songs in random tunings, walking the Waitākeres, and where the songs come from.
Make sure you keep your eyes peeled for more incredible local music.

$1.6 million is heading back into The West.
Our biggest-ever community funding round just landed, with 78 local organisations sharing in $1,610,142.76 through the Your West Support Fund and Your West Innovation Fund. That's 53% more recipients than last year.
From rangatahi employment pathways and rock-fishing rescue programmes to community gardens, music therapy, refugee English classes, surf rescue craft, and environmental restoration, the breadth of mahi being backed this year is extraordinary.

Love was in the air at Lopdell Precinct in Titirangi when over 30 people dropped by Upstairs Gallery to create some heartfelt cards for Mother's Day.
From tamariki to kaumātua, everyone took their time crafting something special for Mum with a boost of $500 from the Supporter's Club at iTi
Big thanks to The Upstairs Gallery for bringing the community together.
