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!

Night of Firsts was a celebration of ten young people from The West stepping into the start of a four-year scholarship with First Foundation. 🎓
For many, it was a genuine first. The first time tertiary study felt achievable. Often the first in their whānau to take this path.
These scholars are future teachers, engineers, health professionals, creatives and leaders, and they're staying grounded in the whānau, schools and cultures that shaped them.
First Foundation's programme gives each student a professional mentor, paid work experience and four years of pastoral care from a dedicated Student Engagement Manager.
In the 2025 round, First Foundation received $20,000 from the Your West Support Fund, going directly toward that Student Engagement Manager's salary.
When a young person from The West succeeds, the whole community feels it. 🙌
