Grassroots Giving Recipients 2026

We are happy to announce the recipients of Auckland Foundation’s 2026 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 with a focus on family/whānau, equitable access to life’s essential needs, identity and social cohesion, rangatahi empowerment, and resourced communities.

 

This year we recieved an increase in new organisations applying to the programme and are thrilled to be able to support some of these organisations, helping fund important work that reflects the constantly evolving needs of different communities in our city.

We would like to thank all the applicants who submitted this year, we see your commitment and impact. While we couldn’t fund everyone, we’re privileged to support the following 26 organisations.

Ngā mihi nui to The Tindall Foundation for their partnership and ongoing commitment to grassroots impact in our region. Together, we’re helping communities to thrive.
