Types of support

Grants & trust funding

Help us deliver life-changing programmes through operational or project-specific grants.

Major project funding & financial donations

Support transformative projects – housing solutions, community hubs like Whakamaru, food support initiatives like our Social Supermarket or Craig & Gail’s Cafe.

We work with you to maximise the social investment of your organisation, and we will make sure that you understand the positive impact within our community.

Corporate partnerships

Create meaningful social impact through sponsorships, shared campaigns, matched giving, collaborative events or donations of high-quality goods or tools that will benefit our everyday activities.

Workplace giving

Unite your staff around a purpose. By supporting your team’s fundraising and volunteering efforts, you will build motivated and engaged teams and develop their personal and professional skills.

We will work with you to enhance your team’s fundraising activities, and we also offer both skilled and group volunteering opportunities to engage your teams.

Payroll giving also enables your staff to regularly donate to The Wellington City Mission through your payroll – it provides tax and administrative benefits for the employee while they are making a difference to their local community.
