Generosity that delivers
Are you passionate about making a difference in the Waikato? Do you want to be certain your giving will be effective?
Momentum Waikato is your local community foundation. We provide people from all walks of life with giving solutions, through a ‘smart giving’ model that adds value now and forever.
To help nurture and build the strength and capacity of Waikato’s communities, we connect generous donors with proven charities and projects across the wider Waikato - from Pokeno to the Coromandel in the north, to Te Kuiti and Tokoroa in the south.

Giving Stories
CREATE YOUR LEGACY
Leave a bequest
You donate your time and money in your community and readily provide ongoing support to charities or causes dear to you.
Perhaps the most significant charitable decision you will make in your lifetime is whether to leave a gift in your Will, a bequest, to support a charity or your community. Getting this right can be a challenge, you want to be confident you’re making the best call.
An ideal solution is leaving a bequest to create your own named fund at Momentum Waikato, or to one or more of our existing philanthropic investment funds, guaranteeing perpetual income for what you care about.

SUPPORT A CAUSE
Donate to local communities’ funds
Momentum Waikato manages a range of philanthropic investment funds set up by individuals and organisations that are open to public donations.
Your donation to one of our funds helps grow the income it grants to the charity or cause it supports.
