We’re proud to confirm that our Giving Back target for 2025 is $100,000. This means that we will deliver a combination of pro-bono (free) and heavily discounted support, advice and service to projects in the 2025 calendar year.
As ever, our Giving Back contributions are focussed on community, the environment and youth. For 2025 we’ve chosen our contribution ratios to be set at approximately 40% Central Otago (New Zealand), 30% Aotearoa/New Zealand wide and 30% with a strong global focus. In terms of thematic focus, it’s approximately 60% environment and 60% youth (yes, there is crossover). 100% of our contributions this year will benefit specific communities.
Recipients in 2025 include:
- Wao Aotearoa
- Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia
- Wānaka Stakeholders Group (and Protect Wānaka), Central Otago
- Kahu Youth Trust, Wānaka, Central Otago
- The Cardrona Heritage Trust, Central Otago
- Sustainable Tarras, Central Otago
- The Tititea Performing Arts Dance Competition, Wānaka, New Zealand
We’re confident that we’ll hit $100,000, and we are very likely to exceed this target.
