Welcome to the Todd Foundation

The Todd Foundation is a private family philanthropy based in Wellington New Zealand. We provide funding to organisations that contribute towards our vision of New Zealand Aotearoa as a place where “everyone is able to contribute to the best of their ability in a society that values and nurtures young people, encourages endeavour and recognises our cultural diversity”.

At the Todd Foundation we understand that how we give is important. The following is a statement of our commitment to applicants and grantees:

1. We will respect and appreciate your commitment to making a difference
2. We will listen and learn
3. We will have regard to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi
4. We will keep our processes clear and simple and be available for advice when requested
5. If we say no to a funding request, we will do so respectfully and provide a clear reason
6. If we say yes to a funding request we will notify you personally, pay promptly and will be available to provide advice and feedback throughout the life of the grant. We are interested in what you are learning and open to discussing any adjustments to funding purpose based on these lessons learned
7. Our aim is to work together to change lives for the better.
