Generously receiving its first donation in 2024 from a Te Anau couple, the Fiordland Regional Fund is a locally managed contestable fund which will continue to build in value over time through donations and bequeaths, providing ongoing support to the community.
The Fiordland community is unique and resourceful due to its isolated nature and environment, with a strong sense of independence and determination.
This fund will provide an ongoing and sustainable source of funding for empowerment and self sufficiency. Rather than providing temporary solutions, we focus on supporting individuals, community groups and organisations with the tools, knowledge and resources they need to thrive independently.
Donating to this locally managed Fiordland Endowment Fund will ensure your contribution stays local and will help empower this community as required year after year. The ongoing income from the combined donations is distributed annually to causes that are important as determined locally.
You can make a one off or a regular donation.
Giving during your lifetime could qualify for a 33.33% tax credit.
