BayTrust

About BayTrust

BayTrust is a Bay of Plenty place-based funder that backs bold, practical initiatives that improve community wellbeing, strengthen Māori outcomes, and help the environment and local places flourish. It gives through a mix of relatively accessible monthly community grants, larger quarterly strategic grants, collaborative event funds, and impact investments—especially in housing, social enterprise, and community-led infrastructure. The strongest signals in its portfolio are affordable and community housing, kaupapa Māori and cultural events, and partnerships that can show measurable regional impact.
