Geyser Community Foundation

Geyser Community Foundation Community Foundations provide a smarter way to give to the community you love. With Community Foundations, you don't have to be wealthy to have an impact.

We can invest and grow your donations so the interest they earn can benefit your chosen local causes year on year, forever. Whether its a large or small gift, a one-off or regular contribution, all giving makes a difference through us. Our smarter giving model allows your giving to have benefits that last forever. We're different because we're not about one single cause; we're about a place and its people. Through us you can choose which significant local projects and causes to invest in to help transform our community. Here's how it works
Donations can be invested so they can grow and become long-term reliable funding streams. It's the income your giving earns that is distributed to worthy, local causes every year; the original gift itself remains protected so it can continue to benefit your chosen causes in your community well into the future.

⛪ St Faiths Church Restoration Project ⛪

For more than 100 years St Faith’s Anglican Church at Ōhinemutu has stood in Rotorua as place of worship, community and culture for Ngāti Whakaue, local worshippers and our international manuhiri.

Today, St Faith’s requires significant restoration work to protect and preserve this special place for future generations. Restoration work is already underway, with the stage one major foundation strengthening and stabilisation work completed.

Stage 2. Roof Restoration – to repair and replace roof.

Stage 3. Interior Restoration –for the repair and preservation of the precious taonga.

Scotty Morrison gives us a personal virtual tour of this precious taonga.
