We are a grant maker supporting communities across the Wellington region.
We distribute approximately $2 million in grants each year through two core grant streams: He Rau Aroha, which supports Māori-led groups advancing Māori aspirations for Mana Whenua and Taura Here, and General Grants, which fund social services supporting communities experiencing inequity, exclusion, and disadvantage.
Grant applications are assessed on an ongoing basis by our team, with larger funding decisions made by our Board. As part of a national network of community trusts, we work independently and in partnership to support positive, lasting outcomes for our region.
Our vision is: Thriving communities across the Wellington region.
Our purpose is: Investing in the communities of the Wellington region.
