Keeping it local
From Huia to Whenuapai and everywhere in between, The Trusts are all about keeping things local in our communities.
That’s why our surplus profits go right back into local schools, community groups, businesses, and people who are dedicated to helping our place thrive.
Owned by the community. Run by the community. For the community.
Our Funds
There are five avenues for support from The Trusts.
Our Support and Innovation Funds help local community organisations handle major projects, cover operational costs and foster new initiatives. For a little extra helping hand throughout the year our smaller Supporter’s Club and Community Donations provide a boost to local projects while our Sponsorships bring extra funds to businesses working to enhance The West.
If you need help to bring about positive change in our community find out how we can support you or get in touch!

A new Intensive Care Unit is coming to Waitākere Hospital - the first ever for West Auckland! Opening in 2026, this state-of-the-art facility will bring lifesaving care closer to home for our community.
Well Foundation’s Every Moment Matters appeal is raising funds to help make the new ICU the very best it can be, by creating comfortable, welcoming family spaces where loved ones can stay close, rest, and support each other during critical times.
This is a once-in-a-generation project for West Auckland. A project that will touch thousands of lives. Find out more about the appeal and how you can be part of it at wellfoundation.org.nz/icu
Growing a greener, stronger West Auckland At Te Piringatahi O Te Maungaarongo Marae in West Harbour, an underused patch of land is being transformed into a thriving food forest. In this living ecosystem, fruits, herbs, and vegetables grow together in harmony.
The project blends traditional Māori wisdom with modern sustainability practices to boost local food resilience, a vision inspired by the 2023 floods and cyclone. Thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Your West Innovation Fund, the Marae and community volunteers have already planted the first trees, with more planting days and workshops on composting, waste reduction, and kai preservation to come.
‘This isn’t just about today,’ says Ethan Smith. ‘It’s about building a fairer, greener, healthier future for everyone.’
