Regional Funds
“It’s reassuring to know that, by partnering with Nikau Foundation, our community’s assets are ring-fenced for local benefit and will be safeguarded and grown.”

Our Regional Funds
Whether we're helping our donors make their giving go further, working with local volunteers, linking with non-profits, or connecting into the wider philanthropic sector, everything we do is with the aim of ensuring our communities have the resources they need to thrive.
We believe in a community-led approach to philanthropy. That’s why we are committed to building a team of volunteers for each of our regions to support us with our grant-making, fundraising and connecting with the great, impactful work taking place.
Our aim is to create place-based funds for each of our region’s – enabling us to respond to their changing needs. If you are passionate about your community, and would be interested in giving your time, skills or expertise to help us grow our reach across the region, please get in touch with us today.
