The Eastern Bay Community Foundation helps connect you with causes you care about and find out what you would like to support.

If you would like to create a Named Fund, support a Scholarship Opportunity, give to an existing Fund or Pass Through Fund please contact us, we would love to chat with you about how we can help you give back to our community.

Funds can be setup to celebrate excellence, improve health and social wellbeing of our residents, reduce inequality in our communities, preserve our precious environment, our heritage and taonga, supporting music, the arts and cultural activities, and encouraging education and learning for all ages.

 Gifts, donations and bequests made to the Community Foundation are invested thoughtfully.

Every donation made to the Eastern Bay Community Foundation is invested, protected and grown, meaning our donor’s generosity will support our communities needs well into the future. Every year some of the investment income is retained to ensure the fund grows in line with inflation and the balance of the interest income from investments is distributed to nominated charities and causes throughout the Eastern Bay of Plenty.
