Overview

Ko te kete aronui – the pursuit of knowledge to help mankind

The Hikurangi Foundation is a national charity that started in February 2008. We have a respected and knowledgeable Board of Trustees. We operate an office headed by an Executive Director and managed by a Homebase Manager.

Our Mission is to catalyse positive and effective action on sustainability and climate change in New Zealand. We are working for more action, more resources to enable action and more people feeling that they can take action that will make a difference. As a matter of principle we prioritise action that makes sense for a whole range of reasons: personal wellbeing, natural resource conservation, community cohesion and national prosperity.

We work in three main ways:

Seeing the big picture
so we are always learning what works in New Zealand

Creating action
by giving financial and logistical backing to those people and projects that make good things happen

Having a voice
so that we are part an informed public conversation about what action is good for New Zealand

Thanks to a groundbreaking collaboration by our friends the Tindall Foundation and the Todd Foundation we have a turnover of around $500,000 per year. We work hard to ensure that we use this strategically and we are trying to reach out to all sectors of Kiwi Society. But our stack of transformational projects still requiring funding is growing.
