What is a community foundation?

Community foundations are about place-based giving - giving back for the long-term benefit and enhancement of a place and its communities.

Auckland Foundation is a member of Community Foundations of New Zealand (CFNZ). While community foundations have only been in Aotearoa New Zealand since 2003, the concept - pooling and investing charitable donations for the good of a local area - has been a growing global movement for over a hundred years.

Across the country, community foundations are here to help generous people like you make a lasting, transformative difference in our local communities.
