Momentum Waikato exists to provide long-term financial resourcing solutions for people tackling social and environmental challenges. For conservation, we so far have three endowment funds that each use their investment income to provide grants and other support for local conservation efforts.
All three offer the opportunity to donate towards growing sustainable support systems for the genuine long-term solutions to the conservation challenges across the wider Waikato region.
The Fund for Nature Hauraki-Coromandel, set up by the Predator Free Hauraki Coromandel Community Trust, supports this umbrella group for the two districts’ 100+ conservation groups. See momentumwaikato.nz...
The Waikato Catchment Ecological Enhancement Fund, set up the Waikato Catchment Ecological Enhancement Trust, supports the Trust's grants to conservation work up and down the length of the awa. See momentumwaikato.nz...
The Waikato Hauraki Conservation Fund, set up by Selwyn and Dianne June, is a ‘gap filler’ funder for those things that volunteers need that are not usually covered by other funders. See momentumwaikato.nz...
You can find out more and donate by clicking the links above, or the one below that take you to our communities' funds index page, where you can select the funds you're interested in supporting.

I went to see this absolutely fantastic trio last night at the Plaza Theatre in Putaruru.

Their music was a mix of Celtic fused with Scandinavian and American, comprising guitars, harp, saxophone, dobro (slide/steel guitar) and voices. Unfortunately only about 20 people attended due, I think, to another event on across the road. However, I understand their next gig is Friday night in Matamata and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a bit of foot-tapping and thought-provoking music! All the best to Across The Great Divide for the rest of their tour. From a new fan who will certainly be there for their next one!
