The Board of Trustees of the Community Foundation (HB) contains a mix of commercial skills, expertise and experience in the public sector, community knowledge and public profile.

We use advisers and make informed choices about how to invest funds both for growth and for impact in the community. The advantages are local knowledge, continuity and fund administration – without the percentage takers.

The board comprises at least:

•    One appointment each by the mayors of the Hastings District Council, the Napier City Council and Central Hawke’s Bay District Council.
•    One chartered accountant.
•    One member of the legal profession.
•    Other members, appointed by the board in accordance with a constitution.
