A little generosity goes a long way. 

Your donation or endowment stays in Hawke’s Bay for Hawke’s Bay. 
You can establish a fund and choose how you would like the income be distributed.  We maintain your capital and distribute the income every year according to your wishes, forever. 

There are many ways you can choose to support the Hawke’s Bay Community, what is you passion?
Arts, youth, preserving local history, the environment or nominate a group such as the SPCA or Red Cross.  If you’re not sure how to allocate your donation it can form part of the Community Foundations general fund and be used for the betterment of Hawke’s Bay as the trustees see a need. 

Many people do a combination and spread it across three areas e.g. 25% to your favourite charity 25% to your local school or club and 50% to any charitable purpose(s) within the Hawke’s Bay region at the discretion of the Trustees.  We only use 1% of the income each year to cover our administration costs and the remaining 99% of your donation will be used exactly as you intended.

We keep you and your family informed about the benefits
your donation is bringing to our community.
