99% of your donation works for our community

As a community foundation Sunrise can only retain a maximum of 1% of endowment value each year to cover operating costs.  

Until we grow endowments to where we are self-sufficient we are fortunate to have the generous support of our funders Trust Tairāwhiti (formerly Eastland Community Trust) and Clark Charitable Trust; Platinum sponsors Larsen Sawmilling & Bayleys Gisborne; Gold sponsors Architects 44, and Self-Storage Gisborne; and numerous organisations and volunteers that have helped us along the way. 

We appreciate the immense support we receive from so many as we strive to build a powerful taonga (treasure) for our community for generations to come. 

Become a Community Hero

Bayleys Gisborne, a platinum sponsor of Sunrise, has launched a “Community Hero” initiative to support Sunrise’s mission. For every property sold through Bayleys Gisborne, the seller can mention Sunrise to receive $1000 towards Sunrise’s operating costs. This initiative aims to support Sunrise’s noble quest, with 99% of donations going towards the community.

If you or your organisation would like to help us on our journey by providing sponsorship, practical assistance or volunteer time please contact Glenda.
