Our Trustees are people who have strong connections to Clutha. Coming from all over the District, between them they have a good overview of many of the different communities within the region.
GIVE WHERE YOU LIVE
The Clutha Foundation is a registered Charitable Trust set up to inspire and enable generosity in the Clutha District. We receive gifts and bequests from generous people, businesses and organisations and invest responsibly to generate income that is then distributed locally to community causes.
A SMARTER GIVING MODEL
Community Foundations are independent, non-profit organisations located in most regions across Aotearoa New Zealand. They focus on a place and its people, running a lean model and governed entirely by super passionate and skilled local volunteer Boards.
Community Foundations build long-term, reliable funding streams for their local communities by investing and growing the donations they receive. So, you’re not really giving to a Community Foundation, but through it. And it means your generosity will have benefits forever. Plus, Community Foundations are not about one single cause, they're about the place and the causes, projects or initiatives you choose to support.
Established in 2018, the Clutha Foundation is one of the youngest of the many Community Foundations around New Zealand. You can read more about Community Foundations and what they can achieve in their local communities here.
