An Opportunity to Make a Difference
The Tongariro Memorial Fund is a special and powerful way in which individuals, whanau, schools and organisations can support the ongoing projects and activities of Project Tongariro for the long term.
The Tongariro Memorial Fund is a living legacy to four national park rangers: William Cooper, Keith Blumhardt, Derek White, Marie Williams, and pilot Douglas McKenzie who died in the helicopter crash in the park in December 1982.
It was transferred to Geyser in 2015. The annual income is made available to Project Tongariro every year for investment in one of four key areas of focus: biodiversity, education, history or recreation, and enable continued development of projects and programmes in and around Tongariro National Park, World Heritage Area and in the wider Taupō region.
Donations of any size can be made to the Tongariro Memorial Fund at any time.
