Our report and collaboration with Jarden draws on data from over 100 charitable programmes across Aotearoa to map how funding is being invested and where community need is greatest. It shows that a small proportion of people account for the majority of investment — and that reaching those with the highest needs requires targeted, collaborative approaches.

By bringing funders and providers into closer partnership, the sector has a real opportunity to shift outcomes at scale. The report provides actionable insights to help funders deploy capital more effectively, support providers doing high-impact work, and ultimately deliver better results for communities across New Zealand.
