Since the Hawke’s Bay Foundation started in 2012, it has made over 400 grants to local grassroots community organisations. This includes funds distributed by the Foundation as the local regional fund manager for The Tindall Foundation.
Hawke’s Bay Foundation also distributes donor directed grants and pass-through donations on behalf of donors.
In 2023 in response to Cyclone Gabrielle, Hawke’s Bay Foundation set up a Cyclone Relief Fund which received and distributed over $3.1 million to support the recovery of the region of Hawke’s Bay.
All applications are reviewed by our specialist Distributions Committee and their decisions are aligned to clear criteria and a philosophy of providing assistance to heal problems rather than manage them. The Distribution Committee has a preference for initiatives that assist groups that are working towards financial self-sustainability.
