United Way (NZ) Inc.

United Way (NZ) Inc. was established in 1975. Its mission is: "...to help build community capacity to improve quality of life through voluntary action and giving." It does this by collecting contributions through payroll giving as well as receiving corporate donations and designated funding from overseas sources.

This money is pooled with funds provided by The Tindall Foundation and allocated, in the main, to small and medium sized organisations through United Way's Allocation Volunteer Programme (AVP). The AVP is supported by individuals from the public and business sectors and enables United Way to pass on 100% of what it receives to deserving causes throughout New Zealand.

United Way distributes funds in Auckland (excluding Manukau City), Manawatu/Horowhenua, Top of the South, Canterbury (excluding mid-Canterbury) Otago and Southland in the Programme Area, Support for Families & Social Services.
