When you give to Hawke’s Bay Foundation your gift remains intact. It is invested in perpetuity, with income being distributed to local Hawke’s Bay causes each year. The income from the funds supports your local community every year, forever. It really is the gift that keeps on giving.
For you and your family, Hawke’s Bay Foundation has a range of easy, efficient and effective giving options. With our knowledge and local expertise, we help maximise the impact you can make.
You may want to give across a broad range of causes or perhaps there is an issue, passion or local area that interests you. You may simply want to know about philanthropy before you get started. Whatever your needs, we can help.
Gifts of every size are welcome. An easy and effective way is to simply make a gift, large or small, one-off or regular, into the Hawke’s Bay Community Impact Fund. We use our knowledge of what is happening in Hawke’s Bay communities, to ensure grants go where they are most needed and will have the biggest impact.
Bequests come in all sizes and forms, and we also welcome assets other than money. You can either leave a set amount or leave a percentage of your estate, capped to a ceiling value if you wish.
You can establish an endowment fund at any time with us and you can start small and build it up over time. We will work closely with you and your family to create your fund which best fits with your charitable objectives.
Once a bequest or gift reaches $25,000, you can get started straight away and name the fund after your family or a loved one and your generosity will make an annual community charitable impact forever.

Setting up a Community Fund with Hawke’s Bay Foundation offers a sustainable funding stream for your organisation, long into the future.
We invest and grow the gifts we receive, to create positive change for our region today, tomorrow and long into the future. The long-term funding generated from Community Funds ensure people can benefit from your services, visit the places you’ve built or enjoy the experiences you create, for generations to come.
Transferring a Charitable Trust or Incorporated Society to the Hawke’s Bay Foundation provides a simple and practical solution, allowing you to maintain the original intent and legacy of the Trust while handing over the responsibility of compliance, governance and grant-making.
Operating a trust or charity has become increasingly challenging with new legislative changes, finding new trustees, investing capital and increasing compliance expectations. A trust transfer or trust resettlement could be the answer. Once a trust is transferred, it becomes a named fund of Hawke’s Bay Foundation.
Hawke’s Bay Foundation can help local businesses develop and administer a strategic giving plan that creates a measurable impact on the community. Whether you have an established plan or are newer to structured giving, we can offer you a simple, flexible and effective way of making a difference.
Hawke’s Bay Foundation can make it straightforward and can do the smart work upfront to help you target the benefit exactly where you want. We can also help you set up a workplace giving programme, so your staff can get involved as well.
