NEXT Foundation is a philanthropic foundation seeking to transform New Zealand’s greatest natural asset – its environment. NEXT was one of the first pioneers of strategic philanthropy in New Zealand when it launched in 2014, applying robust business practices to giving.
NEXT was created through the generosity of a highly successful couple, Neal and Annette Plowman, who embrace the philosophy of giving while living. They donated $100m to be spent in NEXT’s first 10 years and have now committed a further $150m to be spent in the next 10 years, commencing in 2025.
