Love Wānaka / Love Queenstown

Pillar Three

This project oversaw the creation of local community funds. A giving platform for visitors to support projects and give back financially.

This project is being led by the two RTOs in partnership with the Whakatipu Community Foundation who are a donor driven charitable trust that supports localised philanthropy in our region. The Foundation was integral to the development of Love Wānaka and Love Queenstown, and continues to support in an advisory, audit and compliance capacity.

An independent distribution committee has been established and is tasked with setting the overall distribution strategy, reviewing grant applications, and allocating funds to the organisations and initiatives who are best-placed to provide impact, where it’s needed most. This committee consists of local experts in both the grant-making and sustainability / environmental space.
