The Collective Good

Community Foundations Aotearoa New Zealand (CFANZ)

We’re part of a network of Community Foundations that have been growing around Aotearoa New Zealand since 2003.

There are 18 autonomous Community Foundations across New Zealand. Through the coordination of Community Foundations of Aotearoa New Zealand (our national body) we’re all working to make a lasting difference in our local communities. With support from The Tindall Foundation, our aim is for every New Zealander to be able to affect lasting change wherever their home or heart may be. 

To see how our endowment funds work, check out this interactive calculator that CFANZ have developed to show how an endowment fund is a gift that keeps giving year after year.

How far we’ve come – together

Through New Zealand’s Community Foundations over $60 million has been granted to New Zealand communities. Today, we have over $240 million invested in endowment funds for the future. Furthermore, we have hundreds of anticipated bequests adding up to millions of dollars yet to be invested for future community transformation.

Through our smarter giving model, where the original gifts are protected, the potential good these gifts can do for the future is boundless.
