Te Awa Community Foundation
Te Awa Community Foundation covers the Horizons Region (Manawatū-Whanganui) including the seven cities and districts of Horowhenua, Palmerston North, Rangitikei, Ruapehu, Tararua and Whanganui.
The strength of community foundations is that all donations and bequests are invested and held as permanent endowments. An endowment is a fund with money in it, set up to provide long-term support for a particular non-profit organisation or cause. Each year, the income earned by endowments is available for grants to charities and organisations in the local community.
