Office for the Community & Voluntary Sector,
If you’d like to become involved in the initiative to take promoting generosity in New Zealand to a whole new level, the generosity project team wants to hear from you.
Philanthropy New Zealand, Volunteering New Zealand and the Office for the Community & Voluntary Sector are inviting communities of interest to come together to talk about a sustainable, multi-sectoral approach to encourage and support giving and volunteering at both national and local levels.
An increasing body of research suggests individual and company generosity is most likely to occur when it:
There is already considerable interest from the philanthropic sector, the community and voluntary sector, central and local government, the business sector, and academia in the topic of giving and volunteering. We want to build on this and encourage more New Zealanders and New Zealand businesses to think about their giving – by this we mean giving of time, of money and in-kind.
By bringing all the different sectors into the conversation, we hope to come up with some innovative, kiwi-made initiatives that will really make a difference.
If you are interested in joining the working group that will lead this initiative, or if you would like to be part of a broader community of interest, please contact Kat Paton on (04) 918-9579 or e-mail kathryn.paton002@msd.govt.nz.
