The Southland Foundation is guided by a group of voluntary trustees who are passionate about Southland and are committed to strengthening our region. We are locally controlled and independent.
“Our Region” is defined as the area within the boundaries of the Southland Region, defined by the boundaries of the Territorial Authorities, Invercargill City Council, Southland District Council and Gore District Council.
Donors can contribute to the Southland Impact fund or other existing funds relevant to their wishes with a one-off donation or a gift in their will.
Donors can also establish their own named endowment fund with gifts of more the $100,000. Donors who establish Named Endowment Funds with Southland Foundation can specify the cause or organisation who will receive the money, or the way in which it is distributed for example, through a scholarship. These funds are entirely donor-driven or purpose driven depending on the areas of interest chosen by each donor.
A skilled Investment Advisory Committee along with our professional investment company are responsible in ensuring that the value of the funds are maintained in real terms in perpetuity, allowing the legacy of the gift to remain forever.
