A gift to Hawke’s Bay Rowing’s Community Group Fund through Hawke’s Bay Foundation will provide financial support in perpetuity to Hawke’s Bay Rowing Club for the benefit of its athletes and coaching staff in their sporting endeavours.

Established 146 years ago, Hawke’s Bay Rowing is one of the largest Clubs in New Zealand and has a long history of nurturing and developing world-class athletes. Run by a committed volunteer committee and top- class coaches, Hawke’s Bay Rowing established its own fund with Hawke’s Bay Foundation in 2019 ensuring a sustainable and long-term future for the Club.

Investment returns on the Fund will be used to provide financial support for participants that have difficulty funding their involvement, as well as providing assistance for the Club to fund large purchases such as boats and equipment.

All donations to the Hawke’s Bay Rowing Fund are invested as a permanent endowment with the income used to provide an ongoing annual funding stream.
