Our children are our future: let us foster their love of learning. In 2023, a Northland local approached Northland Community Foundation with their dream and an amount of money to be invested through the Foundation by Craig Investment Partners that will forever provide children with access to their own fund that is focused on education and opportunity in performing arts, literacy and numeracy.

Nurture the seed and it will blossom
Every child has enormous potential within themselves. All children should be able to live life to the full, to create and follow their dreams and reach their potential.
As adults it is our job to provide opportunities and education to enable this, and to encourage them on the way. This is our hope for the future.
“Children are the world’s most valuable resource and its best hope for the future” (JFK)
What is the Northland Children’s Fund?
So many children from Northland have grown to become amazing adults and to achieve wonderful things, with the encouragement of a supportive community around them.
This fund has been set up to be a provider of opportunities for the children of Northland; for them to develop in ways that support and enhance their learning experiences and joy in life.
Anyone can contribute to making this kind of difference and to this targeted fund.
Donations, gifts, bequests and endowments of all sizes are encouraged and welcomed.
