Our community partnerships

As part of our commitment to building a flourishing New Zealand, Tax Traders is privileged to partner with several community organisations working on the frontlines to relieve poverty, build stronger families and bring hope to a world that needs it. Our support in this area is multi-faceted – including funding, serving on boards, providing strategic advice, and organising fundraising events. Here are a few of the charities we’re passionate about.

WORLD VISION

WORLD VISION

Supporting Syrian refugee children to reach their potential

World Vision is an international organisation committed to helping children, families and communities overcome poverty and injustice, regardless of their religion, race, gender, ethnicity or ability. Through World Vision NZ, Tax Traders have been supporting families affected by the Syrian crisis - helping them gain access to clean water, safe sanitation and hygiene kits. As the conflict moves into its 8th year, many Syrian children are still not engaged in formal education and are not receiving adequate support to process the trauma they have endured.

GARDEN TO TABLE

GARDEN TO TABLE

An exciting hands-on food education programme for kids

Too many Kiwi kids are disconnected from nature and know little or nothing about where food comes from. Garden to Table is changing that. All around the country, they help primary school students enthusiastically get their hands dirty and learn how to grow, harvest, prepare and share fresh, seasonal food. In the process children are discovering a love for fresh healthy food, how to cook for their family, and gaining skills that will last a lifetime. Currently Garden to Table has 150 schools and there are more than 200 additional schools interested in joining the programme.
