Community foundations are one of the fastest growing forms of community philanthropy worldwide. 

They provide sustainable, long-term solutions.

Most of us grew up in a time when the government took care of social needs, education, housing and health. We all know this is diminishing.

At the same time, many of us have the means and desire to do something for our community, to better the place where we live and where our families will live for generations to come. 

Most of us are thinking of how we want our community to be now and in the future . . .  The charitable impulse – the willingness to help others – is a universal human instinct.

Community Foundations, both here in New Zealand and around the world, provide the opportunity for people to act on that impulse.
