Generosity abounds in Tairawhiti

 We are extremely excited to announce our annual funding round has taken place and $165,000 was distributed in late October.

Granting is what we exist for and is our core business. We do not raise funds in order to build up a fund for no reason but to give back to our community every year forever. As our fund grows, so does our ability to give to our community.

Over the past seven years we have granted around $750,000 and everyone who has donated or is currently donating to Sunrise has had a part in this granting so thank-you.
