The Tindall Foundation

The Tindall Foundation is a private, philanthropic family foundation working throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Its focus is on helping build a stronger, sustainable nation so that families, communities, and our environment thrive now and in the future. The foundation's work is driven by a belief that all Kiwis should have the chance to achieve their full potential and contribute to a healthy, strong society. It appreciates the diverse needs of communities and aims to be a flexible and responsive funder.

The Tindall Foundation supports initiatives that have intergenerational impact, long-term benefits and reduce inequality.

The Tindall Foundation kindly makes funding available for the Tararua and Wairarapa areas to support local communities. 

Tararua REAP and REAP Wairarapa are proud to be the Local Donation Managers in charge of distributing the available funds to our region.

The three areas of consideration are:

• Whānau/Family:

  • Initiatives that support equity for Tamariki/children, Rangatahi/young people and their whanau/families

• Community

  • Support communities to be empowered, inclusive and to lead positive change

• Environment

  • Support for connected approaches that mitigate climate change, enhance biodiversity and address equitable adaptation and a transition to a net zero economy

The key areas for support are:

• Parenting

• Early Years

• Youth Development

• Māori

• Migrant, Refugees and Cross Cultural

• Literacy and Numeracy

• Budgeting

• Community Services and Development

Tindall Foundation does not fund initiatives with a focus on health, disability, core education, sport and recreation, drama, art or performing arts, or any project that is part of core governmental funding.
