We are very proud to be a sponsor of the Save the Kiwi, the national charity working to ensure the survival of our most iconic bird.
Kiwis are our national icon and entwined with our identity as New Zealanders. The vision for Save the Kiwi is to see kiwi go from endangered to everywhere. They work with community-led kiwi conservation groups, iwi, DOC, landowners, businesses and Kiwis across the country to increase kiwi populations by 2% per year.

GoGenerosity began during Covid when many businesses and kiwis were struggling. The concept is all about paying-it-forward to help those in need. As a corporate sponsor we pay-it-forward by way of a monthly donation which is distributed to local businesses who then produce goods and services for local charities to help those in the community that are in need.
To see how our donations have helped those in our community, visit the FMT Hub.
Please note: Where sponsorship funds or donations are made by the Manager, these do not come out of investor funds.
