Grassroots Giving Recipients 2025

We’re delighted to announce the recipients of Auckland Foundation’s 2025 Grassroots Giving Programme, backing small, often out-of-sight organisations that keep our communities connected and thriving.

As the proud Local Donation Manager for The Tindall Foundation in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, we distribute funding to projects under the focus area of Family/Whānau, prioritising whānau experiencing multiple, intergenerational disadvantage.

This year’s round was highly competitive, reflecting just how challenging it is right now for many groups doing essential mahi across our city. Thank you to every applicant, we see your commitment and impact. While we couldn’t fund everyone, we’re privileged to support the following 27 organisations.
