What does meaningful community impact look like from the inside?

We're hosting a free panel discussion on Wednesday 28 October for local women interested in learning about the challenges facing women and children in Canterbury, and the mahi underway to address them.

Hosted by our fabulous ambassador Nicola Toki, the panel brings together three non-profit professionals who’ll share what they’re seeing, hearing and doing to support women and children across Canterbury.

Come along to connect with caring wāhine, share your perspective and learn more about the Impact100 Canterbury model and network. Entry is free, with coffee and breakfast included!

The future of giving belongs to the next generation, so we want to know what you think it should look like. 👀

What causes matter to you? Would you give as part of a group? And what would make giving feel more accessible to youth?

If you're a young person in Canterbury with a couple of minutes to spare, we'd love your perspective to help us understand what a youth giving initiative could look like in Waitaha.

Tell us what you reckon here: https://tally.so/r/Mex7BX

If you're young in spirit and keen to help, share this with a young person in your life and encourage them to have their say. ❤️

Thrilled to join forces with NZ Global Women for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Kōawa Studios, one of Ōtautahi’s newest and most exciting creative technology spaces. 🌟

Kōawa Studios is the first commercial studio of its kind to open in the South Island, combining technology, education, industry and storytelling to help shape the next generation of global screen and creative talent.

This was a truly unique opportunity to get an inside peek at this state-of-the-art facility and connect with members of both Impact100 and Global Women communities.

Not your average work day!

With thanks to Anna Johnstone, Founder & CEO of The Female Career, for setting this up, and to Kōawa Studios Director Sam Witters for showing us around today. What you’ve been able to achieve at this campus is creative innovation at its finest. 🙌

Our Posh Puds & Pinot evening was an absolute treat!

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Thursday. It was lovely to see so many new and familiar faces, and we’re loving the spring colours! 🌸

A big thank you to our hosts at the Sir Miles Warren Gallery for welcoming us to Objectspace and sharing more about the Endgrained exhibition and its visionary designer, Martino Gamper.
And our puds most certainly wouldn’t have been posh without the expert touch of Posh Puds, who generously donated our delicious catering for the evening. 🍰

Couldn’t join us this time? There’s plenty more to come, with an exciting line-up of events planned for the year ahead. Keep an eye on our webpage for up-to-date news and event information: https://www.kuratawhiticcf.org.nz/impact100

Finally, help us grow the Impact100 Canterbury community by spreading the word. If you know a woman who’d love to be part of it, bring her along to our next event!

Here’s the tea on women in philanthropy ☕

When women combine their generosity, their voices and their belief in what’s possible, extraordinary things can happen...

We’re feeling pretty chuffed to be featured in our favourite local mag, Cantabrian Magazine, with a stunning CULTURE feature celebrating the wāhine toa behind Impact100 Canterbury.

In our first year, our incredible members raised more than $32,000 for local causes, including a $27,000 grant helping 33 young people access long-term support through sport, mentoring and connection.

Biggest thanks to Cantabrian Magazine for this beautiful editorial feature. You can read the full story at cantabrianmagazine.com/culture, with plenty more local culture and lifestyle goodness to enjoy while you’re there. 😍
