Tindall Funding
Tindall Foundation Funding
Working in partnership with Adventist churches throughout New Zealand, ADRA runs a range of different projects that help a specific community need. As an organisation ADRA has received funding from The Tindall Foundation to support a majority of these projects. ADRA is grateful for the funding received from the Tindall Foundation and know that with their support we can continue to build better, stronger and more resilient communities throughout Aotearoa.
Local Donations Manager
We are proud to act as a Local Donation Manager for The Tindall Foundation, distributing donations to support community-led initiatives in New Zealand through our Community Transformation Partnerships (CTP) programme. Each year, we receive an allocation of funds from The Tindall Foundation to distribute locally in line with their giving approach and focus areas.
Services and initiatives we support through this partnership will align with The Tindall Foundation’s commitment to Intergenerational Wellbeing for Aotearoa and contribute their key outcomes. The Tindall Foundation focus on parents, carers and young children, equitable access to life’s essential needs, identity and social cohesion, rangatahi empowerment and pathways, and resourced communities.
You can read an overview of the current focus areas here: TTF Focus Areas – Regional & Faith LDMS.
Applying for Funding
Before applying for Tindall Foundation Funding, it is important to understand the initiative that are/aren’t funded. We welcome applications from organisations whose work aligns with one or more of the following focus areas:
- Supporting parents, caregivers, babies and young children to thrive through strong early-life wellbeing and development.
- Improving equitable access to life’s essential needs, including safe and secure housing, nutritious food, clean drinking water and affordable energy.
- Strengthening identity, belonging and connected communities, where people feel safe, valued and connected to one another.
- Building resilient, self-sufficient communities by supporting local leadership, innovation and community-led solutions.
- Creating opportunities for rangatahi (young people) to lead empowered, self-determined lives.
Please note that while The Tindall Foundation also funds environmental initiatives, these are administered through a separate Local Donation Manager and are not managed by ADRA New Zealand.
Your project will need to focus on one of these aspects in your local community. For more specific information on what projects The Tindall Foundation does and doesn’t fund, please refer to this document here.
