J R McKenzie Trust’s new strategy, Te Anga Rautaki, is the latest expression of the giving philosophy developed over the last 80 years by the McKenzie family; a philosophy grounded in respect for the mana and mahi of the organisations and communities it supports.

Our new online funding application processes will start from the 1st of April 2021.

J R McKenzie Trust will fund organisations and projects that align with its strategy. To check your eligibility read below for more detail.


Focus on Equity

Te Anga Rautaki has a singular priority: working and investing in ways that advance equity through transformational change and system-focused solutions.

Advancing equity means addressing underlying causes of inequity and exclusion. It means shifting the conditions that hold inequities in place, that prevent people from fulfilling their potential.
