WE'RE HERE FOR GOOD

The Lion Foundation is one of New Zealand's oldest and most respected Charitable Trusts. In the past 24 years, we've returned nearly $520 million back to the community, supporting thousands of good causes right around New Zealand.

In 2008, The Lion Foundation established a new sister trust called The Lion Foundation 2008.  This new trust has the same Board of Trustees and operates under the same Management, Funding policy and stringent processes as the original Lion Foundation Trust.

Our internal philosophy is 'make a difference' and we do. We have many Lion Foundation venues and gaming machines across the country and we consistently return millions of dollars into the community. Last year that equated to over $37 million.

Last year, we approved 3,298 grants for community-based organisations across New Zealand. That's 9 good causes a day. Causes as diverse as the people who live in those communities: from Cape Reinga to Bluff, east coast to west, rural to urban.

In fact, there are few Kiwis whose lives haven't been touched by a Lion Foundation grant. Check out who we've helped in your area.

"We are grateful to the Lion Foundation for its outstanding support over a number of years. Recently this funding has helped us to put new vehicles on the roads and made critical new equipment available - consequently making our vital work more possible" St John Chief Executive Jaimes Wood
