Conservation funds welcome your donation...
Many people want to volunteer for conservation work, but more money is always needed to resource the labour offered.
Which is why there are three conservation-focused philanthropic investment funds at Momentum Waikato - donations grow ongoing income for local activities.
The Fund for Nature Hauraki-Coromandel support includes kiwi protection, trap building and training.
The Waikato Catchment Ecological Enhancement Fund supplies plants and pest control kit.
The Waikato Hauraki Conservation Fund is a ‘gap filler’ for things that volunteers need that are not usually funded.
