Women in Sport Fund
To nurture and inspire women and girl’s participation in sport, by providing funding to support athletes, coaches, and officials based in greater Ōtautahi Christchurch. These scholarships will grow their exposure and success, and by sharing their stories to other athletes it will create the ripple effect of inspiration to yet more women and girls who can see what’s possible.
Four grants will be issued each year. Two grants will be allocated to athletes, one to a coach, and one to an official/administrator.
To kick things off, we’re looking for 100 generous philanthropists to donate $1,000 forming the core of our club of supporters.
As a donor of our special “sports club”, you can come along to four events every year. You’ll hear from coaches, athletes and of course the recipients of the sports scholarships. What’s more you can bring along a young female as your guest to inspire them.

Governors Bay Jetty
For almost 150 years, Governors Bay Jetty has drawn people from far and wide to a magical seascape at the head of the harbour.
Since the earthquakes, the Jetty has sat in disrepair… but not for much longer! With over $1 million raised so far, the Trust will soon sign a construction contract to begin the rebuild in 2022.
