Todd Foundation

The Todd Foundation is the main philanthropic vehicle of the Todd Family. The Todd Foundation provides funding to New Zealand organisations that contribute towards the Foundation’s vision of 'an inclusive Aotearoa New Zealand where all families, children and young people can thrive and contribute'; with decisions made by a Board that includes both Todd family members and external trustees.

The funding provided by the Todd Foundation supports organisations working with children, young people, whānau and communities.

The Foundation is committed to listening and learning from our communities, and uses a high trust, relationship based funding model.
