Something great has happened in the Waikato that will
have a profound effect on our future. The region has its own
community foundation.

Momentum Waikato Community Foundation is an independent,
permanent resource for high impact philanthropic giving within
the Waikato region. We link generous donors to strategic charitable
investments targeted at transformational change, whilst building
a permanent endowment for the benefit of generations to come.

Momentum Waikato works by pooling funds to have a greater
impact in bringing about positive and powerful social change.
The Foundation is part of a global movement where communities
are taking back responsibility for finding solutions to their own
challenges.

Committed to serving donors who want to improve their own local
patch, community foundations pool and distribute charitable gifts
from generous donors, creating impact now and forever. The
Foundation invests endowed funds prudently and distributes
charitable gifts wisely to support a broad range of community needs.

Momentum Waikato gives you opportunities to invest in significant
local projects that are transformational right here in our community.
Whether it’s the arts, animals, children, education, environment,
health, sports, venture philanthropy or something else, we know
our donors are passionate about many things and want their gifts
to have impact. Knowing where to invest and which projects will
deliver the greatest results isn’t easy.

This is where Momentum Waikato can help.
We take away the complexity of giving through our
independent a-political, charitable community foundation.

We ensure that each and every person who contributes to
Momentum Waikato experiences the joy of giving like never
before, with the ability to choose and then follow the path
of their gift from beginning to end.

Most importantly, 100% of your gift goes directly
to the causes that matter to you.
