Our Projects

Women have a special role in sport. This fund is designed to nurture and inspire women and girl’s participation in sport, by providing funding to support individuals (athletes, coaches, and officials) based in greater Ōtautahi Christchurch, to grow their exposure and success, and then share their stories to younger athletes. Join our fund ambassador Gemma McCaw to play your part.

Give the Gift of Light and Celebrate the diversity of our city. This fund has been launched, as a legacy for the South Island Moon Festival. The fund will add to, and refresh the city's lantern collection.

Our city has a proud history of women facilitating ground-breaking societal change. In order to recognise this, and to ensure this proud legacy continues, we have formed this fund to support women and girls in our city who are change-makers.

The PRIDE Endowment Fund that will provide support and a positive profile to the LGBTQIA+ community, forever.

A fund focused on developing a systematic approach to increase diversity and inclusion in sport, with an emphasis on aiding ethnic minorities to participate safely, and feel welcome, in the wider sporting community of greater Ōtautahi Christchurch.

The Our People, Our City Education Fund is a long-term legacy for the identified children of the Shaheed (those killed) and Bullet Injured in the mosque attacks on 15 March 2019 in Christchurch New Zealand.

10 years ago Greater Christchurch changed forever. 10 years later we are ensuring this part of our story is never forgotten.

Meridian and The Christchurch Foundation are planting Tūī Tucker throughout Christchurch to bring back the iconic sound of Tūī song to backyards.

You can make a general gift to Christchurch and we'll take all the work out of it and manage it for you.
