NZ Rescue Charitable Trust exists to support and strengthen communities across New Zealand by investing in initiatives that enhance health, education, sport, and long-term wellbeing.
Through our Hooked-On Communities fundraising initiative we recognise that New Zealand’s communities are shaped by their environments — from coastal and marine regions where the ocean defines culture and daily life, to inland and rural communities grounded in land-based livelihoods.
Our purpose is to work alongside local organisations and partners to unlock community-led solutions that reflect these differences, addressing not only moments of crisis, but the broader needs that help communities thrive, connect, and build resilience for generations to come.
