A donation doesn’t need to be large to make a difference
It can help towards a child attending camp, give a young person access to an opportunity they might otherwise miss or help someone stay active and connected.
Help more People Take Part
We are a charity, the income we earn and the donations we receive
help us ensure that cost is never the reason someone misses out.
Sometimes the difference between taking part and missing out is simply whether the opportunity is within reach.
It might be a child heading to camp for the first time. A young person discovering what they’re capable of. A family connecting through recreation or someone finding a way to stay active and part of their community.
Your support helps make those moments possible.
The Kind Foundation earns income through our services and social enterprises, but donations, sponsorship and community support help us reach further, reduce barriers and create opportunities for more people across Canterbury.
However you choose to support us, you’re helping someone take part.

What your support makes possible
Your support helps create opportunities for:
- ✓ children to experience camp and outdoor education
- ✓ young people to develop skills, confidence and leadership
- ✓ families to access recreation and wellbeing opportunities
- ✓ community groups to find welcoming, affordable places to come together
- ✓ people to participate when cost might otherwise stand in the way.
And ultimately, it helps more people feel connected to their community.
Help Create a Stronger Community
There are many ways to support The Kind Foundation.
Businesses and organisations can partner with us through sponsorship, accommodation, events, recreation, fitness, wellbeing and other services.
The relationship works both ways. You get access to places, experiences and services for your people, clients or community, while helping us continue the work we do across Canterbury.
If you’d like to contribute but aren’t sure what that could look like, let’s talk.
Help a Kid go to Camp
For some children, camp is their first night away from home.
Their first time climbing that high. Cooking outside. Trying something that feels a bit scary. Finding out they can do more than they thought they could.
Those experiences build confidence, independence and friendships, but cost can sometimes put them out of reach.
Your support can help more young people get to camp and have the chance to discover what they’re capable of.
Support Events that Create Opportunity
Our events bring people together for all sorts of reasons: to perform, create, solve problems, celebrate, connect and contribute. Support from sponsors and partners helps make these experiences possible.
Platform
A place for emerging performers to find their confidence, share their talent and take their next step. Supporting Platform helps create space for young performers and the arts to flourish.
Grapple
Grapple brings bright young thinkers together to tackle real-world challenges, meet like-minded people and put their ideas to work. Support helps give the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs and problem-solvers a place to connect and test what they can do.
Charity Golf Tournament
A great day on the course with a bigger purpose behind it.Bring your team or customers, meet others who want to make a difference and help create opportunities for children, young people and communities across Canterbury.
Carols By Candlelight
A much-loved community event bringing people together through music, generosity and a shared sense of belonging.Since 1948, people have gathered in Victoria Square on Christmas Eve to sing traditional and modern carols together, supported by the Salvation Army Band and a combined choir.
One Act of Kindness Can Create Opportunity
Every day, someone comes through one of our doors and tries something new.
They might discover a skill, make a friend, build confidence or simply find somewhere they feel they belong.
Those moments are what The Kind Foundation is here for.
Whether you donate, sponsor, volunteer, attend an event or partner with us, your support helps create more of them.
