Kura Tāwhiti - Canterbury Community Foundation

We are here to grow giving to benefit our communities now and for generations to come. The Christchurch Foundation works to grow philanthropy for the betterment of greater Ōtautahi Christchurch, New Zealand. We offer a range of ways to give, and donor support - providing donors and businesses the opportunity to give to the community that is aligned to community aspiration and is focused on making

- actively draw in new resources for the not for profit sector
- actively support donors
- actively and positively engage and work alongside existing non-profit organisations, charities and fundraisers
- provide a city-wide vehicle for donors, to more easily give to a range of causes and communities
- provide professional advisors with a simple gateway for their clients' giving
- provide a range of giving mechanisms, such as bequests, endowments, diaspora or expat giving and city partner programmes
- promote greater Ōtautahi Christchurch and its causes generally
