Gifts totalling $38,737 were presented to 36 local community groups, individuals and charities at the Geyser Community Foundation Awards Function held in Rotorua recently.

In hosting this year\u2019s function, Geyser\u2019s Deputy Chairman, Alan Wills said this event was a wonderful tribute to the generosity of local people.

\u201cFirst established in 2007 with no money, the Foundation is the result of local people understanding that they can do good things with their charitable intentions, and even greater things when they partner with others.

\u201cGeyser connects people who care with causes that matter to create greater good for the whole community now and forever.

\u201cWe\u2019re different because we\u2019re not about one single cause; we\u2019re about a place and its people.

\u201cThrough us people can choose which significant local projects and causes to invest in to help transform our community.

\u201cTrustees are very grateful to these generous local people. With their support we continue to be able to reach further into our local communities.\u201d

This year gifts would benefit people in all corners of the Rotorua and Taupo District communities, including Whakamaru, Mangakino, Reporoa and Turangi.

Also, 68 recipients had received more than $154,000 direct from donor advised funds managed by the Foundation this financial year.

\u201cWhen establishing endowment funds, donors can choose their favourite local cause or causes to receive annual gifts from their funds, and this will continue year on year, forever.\u201d

Donors\u2019 pooled funds have grown to $8.5 million.

\u201cIn addition, we have an estimated $16.5 million anticipated in local people\u2019s wills so far.\u201d

Geyser Community Foundation has gifted more than $2 million on behalf of a growing number of donors since it first began making distributions in 2008.

Mr Wills said we look forward to the day when we have our first $25 million so together, we can do more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
