About Us

What is the Geyser Community Foundation?

Community Foundations provide a smarter way to give to the community you love.  We can invest and grow your donations so the interest they earn can benefit your chosen local causes year on year, forever.

We connect generous local people with charitable causes in the Rotorua and Taupo Districts and throughout the Central North Island.

Smarter Giving Model

Make your giving go further
You don’t have to be wealthy to make a lasting impact. Whether yours is a large or small gift, a one off or regular contribution, all giving makes a difference through Geyser Community Foundation.

Community Foundations

Geyser Community Foundation is part of a network of 17 Community Foundations of NZ that have been growing across Aotearoa New Zealand since 2003.

Through our national body, Community Foundations of New Zealand, we’re all working to make a lasting difference in our local communities. Our aim is for every New Zealander to be able to affect lasting change wherever their home or heart may be.

About Us

The Geyser Community Foundation is a charitable trust registered under the Charities Act 2005.

It was formed in 2007 to provide a simple, effective and long lasting way for individuals, families and organisations to leave legacies or create funds to support local causes, and to ensure these gifts will achieve maximum and enduring benefits for the Rotorua and Taupo District communities, and those who live in the Central North Island region.
