We all feel very passionate about our personal piece of local paradise, and Whangamatā certainly is our ‘Slice of Heaven’ on the Coromandel.
Whether a long-term or part-time local, or just an occasional visitor, we all marvel at the natural beauty, variety, peace, enjoyment and memories that Whangamatā offers.
And we naturally therefore want to preserve and enhance this glorious locale.
Whangamatā has both challenges and opportunities in the years ahead, including the need for better community services and new old-age care facilities, as well as support for the swimming pool, the iconic Surf Club, social accommodation, and local schools.
The Whangamatā Future Fund at Momentum Waikato offers a simple and fiscally robust way for individuals and families to contribute to the future of Whangamatā. Your donation or gift-in-Will ultimately provides future generations living here with their own resources to make our place prosper forever.
Whangamatā Future Fund explained.
The Whangamatā Future Fund provides residents and visitors with the opportunity to donate and bequest to a philanthropic investment fund that is, and always will be, focused on the prosperity, wellbeing, sustainability and vibrancy of the Whangamatā community.
It is a ‘place based’ endowment fund led and driven by committed locals and professionally managed by the Momentum Waikato Community Foundation. The Fund’s committee is made up of three local ‘fund champions’ and two representatives from Momentum.
This community-based funding instrument will grow through both the donations and gifts-in-Wills (bequests) it receives, AND its investment income, which is secured and amplified by the scale of Momentum Waikato’s regional endowment fund.
When the Fund reaches a base balance of $50,000, the committee will start annual distributions of a majority portion of its investment income via grants to projects and programs benefiting Whangamatā, with the rest of the income being re-invested to continue its growth.
One-off and ongoing donations and bequests to the Fund are invited from anyone and everyone who wishes to provide positive long-term support to Whangamatā.
