Charities: Information Hub

Kia ora,

Charities are in many ways the backbone of New Zealand, delivering services, providing resources and support that strengthens our communities. We enjoy supporting the great work that charities do, whether that be assisting with setting up a new charity, updating existing charities, supporting with commercial or employment matters of charities and much more. In this information hub we have compiled our guides and articles to keep the charities sector well-resourced and up to date on the latest developments.

We welcome your questions and there is an FAQ with dozens of questions and answers below.

Fundholding

Fundholding : Making Doing Good Easier

 We are pleased to announce the release of our paper on Fundholding.

Fundholding is a flexible solution that can apply to many groups seeking to carry out charitable purposes, but are held back by common barriers, such as administration or a lack of funding streams.

The paper focuses on:

  • Discussing the basic elements of a charity in New Zealand and why fundholding might be an option for some projects;
  • Defining fundholding;
  • Discussing the various forms of fundholding;
  • Outlining the key provisions for a written fundholding agreement; and
  • Giving examples of fundholders in New Zealand.

We are at the early stages of the journey here in New Zealand. It is our hope that by preparing this paper that it will bring into sharp focus the potential of fundholding but also the challenges that will be faced to implement it well here.

Thank you to all those who contributed to the paper.

We help hundreds of charities and are New Zealand’s leading lawyers for this sector – if you’d like to discuss this or any topic, let us know.
