Momentum’s menu of smart giving options
Do you want to support local social and environmental activity in a way that has an effective and ongoing impact?
Momentum Waikato, the region’s community foundation, hosts various Funds set up by community groups, social enterprises or local champions to diversify and increase the income enabling their worthwhile community work.
These Funds grow within the regional endowment in Momentum’s care, generating income for the initiator’s own operation or for distribution out to relevant community groups.
These ‘named funds’ welcome public donations - meaning you can help grow their income and impact by adding to their capital.
