Here for you in all weathers

31 January 2023   /   News & reports

The impact of severe rainfall and widespread flooding is being felt in our communities across Tāmaki Makaurau and Te Tai Tokerau, adding to the load for many and bringing fresh challenges for everyone. Together, we faced challenges during COVID, and we can meet the new challenges of a local emergency, too – we won't be complacent.

Foundation North is assessing how we can best assist and respond to the community's needs as the impact of this severe weather event unfolds.

Flexible like you

Do you have a current grant or request for funding with us, and do your plans need to change due to the weather event?

This will be the reality for many of the organisations we support, so let us know by calling 0800 272 878 or emailing info@foundationnorth.org.nz – we can step you through helpful options.

We take a very flexible approach if you can no longer use your grant for its original purpose or in the timeframe you had planned.

Open for you

Our staff are available via phone, email or virtual hui - Contact Us.

Our financial position is strong and can continue granting through this and beyond.

Committed to supporting you

We continue to tautoko the work of our communities – with innovation, spirit, manaaki and strength; your mahi enhances lives. Apply for Quick Response Grants and Community Grants for services and projects in your communities.

Funding to enhance lives

Our funding strategy is already well-aligned for these times, and we will continue to be supporting mahi across our four focus areas:

Increased Equity – Social Inclusion – Regenerative Environment – Community Support
