The Harcourts Foundation proudly supports Hospice New Zealand through The Hospice NZ Grants programme, which provides all member hospices with the opportunity to purchase much needed equipment.
As the charitable arm of Harcourts, the foundation has made a lasting impact by funding initiatives that strengthen social welfare, education, health, and community development.
One of its most celebrated partnerships is with Hospice New Zealand, supported through the Hospice NZ Grants Programme. This initiative provides member hospices with essential funding to purchase much-needed equipment, ensuring they can deliver quality care. In recognition of this significant contribution, Hospice New Zealand awarded Harcourts a Silver Partner medal, highlighting the importance of their commitment to end-of-life care.
Beyond hospice support, the foundation responds to crisis appeals and aids communities in times of urgent need. Its funding priorities are clear: projects must come from reputable community-based organisations and should demonstrate the widest possible community benefit. By focusing on initiatives that reach large groups of people, the foundation ensures that its contributions create meaningful and lasting change.
The objectives of the Harcourts Foundation are broad and inclusive. They include advancing social and community welfare, alleviating poverty, and supporting vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children, youth, and people with disabilities. The foundation also seeks to enhance social and economic participation through community development, promote art and culture, and support education by funding schools, universities, and other learning institutions.
However, some requests fall outside the foundation’s scope. It does not fund individual needs such as salaries, administrative costs, travel expenses, or activities linked to religion, politics, or hobbies. Marketing, sponsorships, and proposals that do not align with the foundation’s objectives are also excluded.
With its ongoing commitment to philanthropy, the Harcourts Foundation looks forward to growing its contributions in the years ahead. By focusing on projects that touch many lives, it remains a cornerstone of community support throughout New Zealand.
