Trust Waikato
supports the things that make our
corner of the world a better place. We donate money
to community organisations and projects that focus on
welfare, sport, recreation, youth, art, culture and the
environment, for the benefit of people in our region.
Our funding area includes the districts of Thames-Coromandel,
Hauraki, Matamata-Piako, Waipa, Waikato, South Waikato,
Waitomo, Otorohanga, Ruapehu and Hamilton City. We
acknowledge that this area includes much of the lands of
the Tainui waka and thus the people of Waikato, Raukawa,
Hauraki and Maniapoto.
Our Strategic Plan for 2011 – 2013 has guided our work over the
past year in the following ways:
Our Vision is for resilient and vibrant communities
Ko tō mātou moemoea kia tipu, kia hua ngā hāpori
