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!

Youth development charity Zeal is meeting vulnerable rangatahi where they already are in malls, parks, and transport hubs across West Auckland.
Through its Street Youth Work project, trained youth workers build trusted relationships with young people aged 16+, support their well-being, and connect them with services like counselling, food support, and emergency housing while Friday nights at Zeal West Aucklandâs Henderson centre offer a safe space to belong and grow.
After losing funding from Oranga Tamariki, a $20,000 grant from the 2025 Your West Support Fund helped keep the programme running and attract further backing.
Want to connect? Find the Street Youth Workers at 14 Railside Avenue on Friday afternoons.
Join the RiverCare Group Te Wai o Pareira for a series of hands-on, interactive explorations to discover species that live in Ĺrangihina, Te AtatĹŤ Peninsula. They will collect valuable data on the biodiversity, distribution, and abundance of seashore species across time and space.
29th March from 11am-1pm
4th April from 11am-1pm
12th April from 8:00pm-9:30pm.
The team will also be discussing the connectivity of this space to the wai/water that flows from the upper catchment and how this might be impacting what we see now and in the future.
Register for the event through the link on the Rivercare website. www.rivercaregroup.org/event-details/hikoi-series-taihua
