Don't Give to Us, 
Give Through Us

The grass-roots approach of community foundations makes it possible for anyone to give. You can donate online to any of our live endowment funds, which is the easiest way to support the causes and communities that matter most to you.

Join a growing community of women who are curious, engaged and committed to making a difference. Through Impact100, you'll build meaningful connections, gain insight into the challenges and opportunities facing Canterbury today, and contribute to decisions that create lasting local impact.

Create a Named Endowment Fund

Leave a lasting mark. We'll help you decide how, when, and who your endowment fund supports — making your philanthropic vision a reality.

Including Kura Tāwhiti Foundation in your will is a powerful way to create your own legacy. You can donate a lump sum or percentage of your estate to be distributed as to your wishes, or create an endowment that keeps your kaupapa alive after you pass.
