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.
2026 Funding Available Soon!
Applications for the 2026 Your West Support Fund and Your West Innovation Fund will be open from 10th February – 15th March!
Now’s the perfect time to update your details or register for our Fluxx granting system so you’re ready for upcoming funding opportunities. Get set up early and make sure all your legal documents are uploaded so you can apply without delay.
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.

West Auckland neighbours are coming together to build safer, flood-ready communities in the areas hardest hit by the 2023 floods thanks to The Whau River Catchment Trust River Catchment Trust.
'The programme aims to strengthen social connections, build local leadership, and empower people to take ownership of their neighbourhoods and waterways,’ says Founding Trustee and General Manager, Gilbert Brakey.
Supported by $20,000 from the Your West Support Fund, the initiative prioritises practical, local action in New Lynn, Glen Eden, and Titirangi.
Titirangi Badminton Club are promoting health and wellbeing with $20,000 in funding covering running costs to open the club full-time, providing accessible sports facilities for the community. 🏸
