Northland is full of amazing people making incredible things happen within our community. Northland Community Foundation is the link between them and the generous people like yourself who want to support their mahi and help Northland flourish for years to come. Explore our funds below and find the right fit for your giving goals:
At Northland Community Foundation we offer a wide range of funds so your generosity can have the greatest impact in the areas you care about, forever. Whether your passion is community support, education, environment, health, arts, or sports, there’s sure to be a fund to match your values and vision.
A pass-through fund is designed for short-term giving - donations are collected and distributed to charitable causes within a set timeframe. This is ideal if you want to make an immediate impact.
An endowment fund, on the other hand, is a long-term investment where the principal remains intact, and only the earnings (interest) are distributed to support causes. This ensures sustainable funding for the community year after year.
Yes, you can create a named fund that reflects your values, and we will manage it on your behalf to support causes you care about.
We require a minimum investment of $50,000 to set up a named fund. Contact us to discuss your options. When establishing a Named or Corporate Endowment Fund, we encourage donors to make a one-off donation of $5000 which goes towards the operating expenses of the Northland Community Foundation, and will help promote your fund to secure donations. This donation will qualify for a 33.3% tax credit.
We manage a variety of funds, including community funds, scholarships, and workplace giving funds.
Funds are invested with Craigs Investment Partners and are professionally managed to generate sustainable returns, ensuring ongoing support for your chosen cause.
