Community Foundations – a new way of thinking
23 March, 2022

Here at Top of the South Community Foundation we acknowledge how challenging life can be for so many people. It’s certainly been a tough couple of years that we’ve all endured, and there’s no better time than now to think about how you can make a positive contribution that supports your local community, forever.

Recently Community Foundation of NZ co-authored a White Paper that superbly outlines what an awesome giving model we have.

If after reading the White Paper you have any further questions about how we operate here at your local Community Foundation please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our Executive Officer Gavin Larsen would be more than willing to meet up with you to discuss how you can start playing a part in making our incredible Te Tauihu region an even better place to live.
