Local Giving for Local Needs.
Support a cause close to home and close to your heart. With over 70 funds, there is something for everyone.
Welcome to Sunrise Foundation
Sunrise Foundation has supported over 160+ charities and local community groups since our inception in 2014.
Sunrise enables generous people to make a bigger impact in their communities, by investing donations and distributing the returns to causes close to their hearts, year after year.
By connecting donors with local causes they care about, we provide Tairāwhiti-Gisborne charities with long-term, sustainable income. Unlike other charitable giving, our smarter giving model is built to last – making your giving go further.
All money raised here, stays here.
