UWNZ Ambassador Michael Jones with UWNZ Chief
Executive Don Oliver
| Established internationally in 1887 and operating in New Zealand
since 1975, our vision is to improve quality of life through voluntary
giving and action.
We are an independent, non-religious, non-political, volunteer based organisation. Working alongside individuals, businesses and the community, we provide funding assistance, volunteer time and necessary skills to help local human welfare charities. Our Mission is to encourage generosity by brokering resources (money, time and skills) between individuals, business and the community. By pooling individual contributions we maximise funding to ensure that around 200 local charities throughout New Zealand are provided with financial assistance each year. This unique method capitalises on the power of collective effort and saves the donor from the frustration of having to choose which charity to support. |
