None of this would have been possible without the
tireless work of all the individuals and organisations
that devote their time to building stronger, healthier and
more resilient communities. They are the real heroes in
our story. They are the ones who are out there creating
positive change and they do so with great love and
compassion for people and our environment.
We cannot thank our hugely talented staff and Trustee
team enough for their commitment and dedication
to our Foundation and our donation recipients. Every
application considered, every cause researched, every
need understood, every person supported, all advice
given: the team shows the utmost respect, empathy and
thoughtfulness. We thank them for this.
Enjoy reading some of our stories. We wish you well for
the holiday season and for the year that lies ahead.
Founders —The Tindall Foundation
Tena koutou katoa. Greetings to all.
We are proud to have produced this special twentieth-
anniversary themed calendar to mark this important
milestone in our family foundation’s history.
When we established The Tindall Foundation in 1995,
we hoped that we could use our money to help make a
difference for New Zealand and New Zealanders, if only
in a small way. We knew our money would be a drop in
the ocean compared to the need in our country.
However, 20 years down the track, we believe the
Foundation has achieved some great things through the
organisations we have funded and supported. We have
committed over $135 million in that time to help make
New Zealand a better place for generations to come, and
we are proud to have done so.

Message from the Foundation Manager
continue to do what we are doing, because we know it
gets results. We shall remain open minded and flexible,
so we can respond in the best possible ways to our
changing world and its changing needs.
Reflecting on his 12 years as Manager, Trevor told me it
had been an honour and a privilege to act in service to
the generosity of the Tindall family. What stands out for
him is their great hope for change, their compassion for
those in need, and an authentic spirit of generosity and
desire to make a difference.
I too see this, and look forward to working with Stephen,
Margaret and their five children as the next generation
becomes more involved in the Foundation’s activities.
Manager — The Tindall Foundation
This has been a year of great change for the team at
The Tindall Foundation and for me.
I took over as Manager in March as Trevor Gray, at
his request, moved into the new role of Special Projects
Manager, reducing his time to three days a week. It has
been a seamless transition, and we are very grateful
to the Trustees for investing to ensure continuity in our
values and the way we operate.
Working in the role of ‘funder’ is a whole new ball game
for me, bringing fresh challenges and experiences.
It is great to be able to draw on my career in the
social sector and to have the opportunity to offer the
Foundation another perspective and different interests,
so we can continue to create innovative ways to address
important issues.
What makes this role special is working directly with
the Founders to ensure their vision is realised. We will

Breakdown of Funding over the Past 20 YearsOver the past 20 years we are proud to have supported
more than 5000 organisations across New Zealand
with donations, capacity building, social loans and
other strategic support. We do more than just giving
away money: we offer our time and expertise, we
connect people, we convene and we walk beside these
organisations.
We have focused almost half of our entire donation
spend (49%) on Supporting Families and Social
Services, with over $61 million given in total in the
last 20 years.
Our programme areas, Caring for our Environment
and Encouraging Enterprise and Employment, each
received over $18 million in donations.
Organisations and initiatives that work Strengthening
the Community Sector were given over $4.5 million,
while the Promoting Generosity and Giving
programme area received $3.3 million.
Our Trustees pledged $5 million to help Christchurch
communities recover following the September 2010
and February 2011 earthquakes. To date we have
spent around $2.7 million of this money through our
Canterbury Earthquakes Recovery Fund. We have
donated $1.6 million to Overseas projects.
Some of our greatest support went to:
The New Zealand Housing Foundation, our most supported organisation, receiving $10 million in donations and social loans over a 16-year period
Zero Waste New Zealand Trust, receiving donations of more than $4.5 million over a ten-year period
Youth Employment, a major focus for us, with $5.6 million given to three projects
Environmental projects, in line with our keen interest in protecting our waterways, forests and ecosystems for future generations. Some of our large donations include organisations such as Project Crimson, Hikurangi Foundation, Enviroschools and Carbon Farming Group

The Tindall Foundation HistoryOriginating from Stephen and Margaret Tindall’s desire to share the fruits of their business success with New Zealanders, The Tindall Foundation has grown over 20 years to be a leader in private philanthropy that responds to social and environmental needs.
Strong public interest greeted our founding in 1994, and in the following year the first donations were made. This was a lean organisation: when current Systems and Relationships Manager Evelyn Gauntlett joined in 1997, she was one of only two full-time employees.
Being small and flexible enabled us to back some innovative ventures. “We gave a start to projects like Enviroschools and Te Araroa, and helped advance waste management across New Zealand,” Evelyn remembered.
Today there are four full-time and four part-time staff and one volunteer — yet that innovative, flexible approach is still part of the culture. Trevor Gray, who joined as Foundation Manager in 2002, lists the creation of Community Foundations,collaboration with regional Funding Managers and the response to the Christchurch Earthquakes as key achievements.
Evelyn is retiring by early 2015 and Trevor has stepped into a new role as the Manager of Special Projects, but both are confident the organisation is in good heart. “Seeing the enthusiastic engagement of the next generation of the Tindall family and our new management is very satisfying,” reflected Trevor.

Canterbury Earthquakes RecoveryChristchurch and its surrounding region are rising again after the devastating September 2010 and February 2011 earthquakes. Yet the path to recovery can be slow and bumpy, just like many of the still-damaged roads of the South Island’s largest city.
That’s where The Tindall Foundation’s long-term commitment to the region aims to help. “So far we have funded 63 organisations as part of our $5 million commitment to Canterbury Earthquakes Recovery,” stated Dave Richards, Projects and Strategy Manager.
One of these is the Canterbury Communities’ Earthquake Recovery Network (CanCERN). Formed by residents’ groups to facilitate interactions with insurers, the Earthquake Commission and other government agencies, CanCERN helps people to find and share solutions to their needs.
CanCERN initiatives include In the Know, a community-led communication programme created to answer residents’ pressing questions. In 2014 CanCERN was a key mover behind Let’s Find and Fix, which put in place temporary repairs to hundreds of damaged homes before the onset of a fourth post-earthquake winter.
The network moved out of its usual advocacy role to support this more practical project, which needed to be organised quickly. “We are hearing from families who are truly thankful that their homes are warmer, safer and healthier this winter,” said Brian Parker, Projects Manager.

Land, Air, Water Aotearoa“Fresh water is a vital asset to our country and it’s important that the public knows the state of their local rivers and catchments,” said Fran Wilde, Chair of the Regional Council Sector Group. “We want people to be able to use Land, Air, Water Aotearoa (LAWA) to tell us and others what’s going on in their local waterway.”
Wellington was one of the 16 regional and unitary councils that worked together to create the LAWA website. Launched in March 2014, the site provides the public with water quality information for over 1100 freshwater sites throughout New Zealand.
Not only the councils have been part of this collaboration; the Cawthron Institute, the Ministry for the Environment, Massey University and The Tindall Foundation have all played their part. “As a family foundation we were keen to fund the LAWA website so that information on water quality is easily accessible to the public,” commented Sir Stephen Tindall.
The Cawthron Institute joined in the partnership as a direct result of our involvement with LAWA — after we had noted similarities between the project and a concept being worked on by scientists at Cawthron. The scientists validate the data collection, processing and analysis provided by regional councils.
For LAWA National Administrator Caroline Rowe, “the involvement of The Tindall Foundation has been fantastic and has stretched far beyond supporting LAWA financially. They’ve enthusiastically supported the project from the get-go.”

New Zealand Housing FoundationRecognising that home ownership was moving out of reach for growing numbers of families, in the late 1990s The Tindall Foundation spearheaded a quest for solutions. That led us to support the establishment in 2004 of the New Zealand Housing Foundation, whose mission is to deliver affordable, sustainable housing for people on lower incomes.
“Having The Tindall Foundation’s involvement at the start provided reassurance to the market and enabled leveraging of a significant government loan,” explained Brian Donnelly, The New Zealand Housing Foundation’s Executive Director.
This long-term partnership has helped deliver more than 300 new affordable houses to date. Alongside support with capacity building, strategic planning and research, we have given backing with social-investment capital funding that is used to assist families in moving from often poor-quality and unaffordable rental situations.
“We share an ongoing dialogue to understand how the strategic objectives of both organisations align,” Brian said. “They have walked beside us over the long haul as we launched into Christchurch, and are now helping open up other funding opportunities.”
The Tindall Foundation’s Special Projects Manager Trevor Gray noted: “With the New Zealand Housing Foundation and other partners we hope to address a large and increasing area of market failure. If we can help people into good quality housing, and employment, then a lot of other social problems go away.” For more information contact: Brian Donnelly, Executive DirectorEmail: brian.d@housingfoundation.co.nzWebsite: www.nzhf.org

Joan Withers, TrusteeWhen Joan Withers received an invitation to join The Tindall Foundation board in 2009, she accepted without hesitation. “It was a privilege to be asked to be a Trustee,” she said.
“The Tindall family is very aware of inequality and is in the privileged position of being able to share. They are totally dedicated to the causes the Foundation supports.”
“The Foundation’s core values have always been the same, with the philanthropic focus of addressing inequality in New Zealand,” she continued. Issues like employment, housing, the environment and youth development are on the agenda now, as they were in the early 2000s when Joan was first involved as one of our advisers.
As a Trustee, Joan contributes business and governance experience at the highest level. Among her career achievements are roles as Chief Executive of Fairfax New Zealand and Chair of Auckland Airport, and being the current Chair of Mighty River Power.
She is also a champion for the South Auckland community where she lives. Joan chairs the steering group that governs the Counties Manukau District Health Board Health Science Academies scheme, which with our support helps Maori and Pasifika students from three South Auckland schools become health professionals.
Trustee commitments involve meeting at least six times a year. Joan plans to be a Trustee for as long as she is needed, and is positive about the Foundation’s evolution:
“The involvement of the next generation of the family, clearly passionate about the Foundation, is great, because you can see that this is sustainable and will live on.”

Poutasi Development TrustFrom a bird’s-eye view Poutasi village looks like a tropical paradise. But life here on the southeast coast of Upolu, in Western Samoa, is far from idyllic — and its people’s horizons are limited by isolation, a subsistence economy and natural disasters (most recently the September 2009 tsunami).
Poutasi Development Trust (PDT) aims to improve the outlook for the village of 400 inhabitants with a series of innovative projects. Tuatagaloa Joe Annandale (Poutasi’s paramount chief) began PDT’s work in 2011 by opening a preschool and initiating a range of local scoping and capacity-building programmes, which The Tindall Foundation supported.
In 2012 we helped with setting up the Poutasi Gardens, which supply restaurants and resorts on Upolu with the fresh produce that was previously imported at a high cost. “The Gardens remain the engine room — that is where the income for the village comes from,” said PDT’s Interim CEO Bruce Russell.
With further help from Volunteer Service Abroad volunteers Glenn and Sharyn Cant, who had witnessed the 2009 tsunami, the Gardens have thrived. As well as providing employment for villagers, the Gardens generate profits to fund new projects like an art centre and café and a community library, and help pay for the preschool.
Trevor Gray, The Tindall Foundation’s Special Projects Manager, noted that PDT “is now a village-based economic development and self-sufficiency programme, of which the Gardens is but one initiative.”

ChangeMakers Refugee ForumEach year New Zealand accepts 750 refugees for resettlement through the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and approximately 300 more people apply for asylum. Resettlement is far from straightforward, with challenges especially acute for successful asylum seekers.
ChangeMakers Refugee Forum aims to help by representing over 14 refugee-based communities in Wellington. “Our vision is that New Zealanders from refugee backgrounds are participating fully in New Zealand life,” said Tayyaba Khan, the forum’s General Manager.
Originating as a volunteer group in 2001, ChangeMakers has steadily expanded to include community development and research. Donations from The Tindall Foundation between 2009 and 2013 enabled research initiatives on its own and in partnership with agencies and universities.
In December 2013 ChangeMakers published the research report ‘Marking time: Experiences of successful asylum seekers in Aotearoa New Zealand’. This identified challenges with resettlement including limited access to housing or Work and Income support, and prolonged periods of waiting.
“The research enables a better understanding of the situation for asylum seekers, and lays a factual basis for improving policy and service delivery,” said Tayyaba. The organisation is drawing upon this work as it continues to advocate for refugees’ rights in Wellington.

Wastebusters CanterburyTo celebrate 20 years of giving, The Tindall Foundation revisited some of the organisations we had funded in our early days. One such early recipient was Wastebusters Trust Canterbury, which started life as Ashburton Wastebusters in 1994 when Anita Coghill and Sheryl Stivens volunteered to run a school programme on waste minimisation.
In 1996 we donated $12,000 to support Wastebusters’ role in the Zero Waste programme for waste minimisation and recycling. The funding helped kickstart activities like its successful Winter Waste Fest series with its focus on recycling, the Glorious Garbage Wearable Art Awards, and the Reuse Waste Materials Exchange for local businesses.
“When Wastebusters got started we were full of enthusiasm but light on business acumen and experience,” remembered Anita, who is still a trustee. “The Tindall Foundation donation enabled us to move from fledgling community group into a sustainable community enterprise.”
Building on that base, Wastebusters expanded into running recycling and waste management programmes for Ashburton and Selwyn districts. It now manages a paper, cardboard and plastics collection service for businesses in central Ashburton, and a rural recycling service for farmers.
Over the years since it became a trust and received our early backing, Wastebusters has gained an established place in the Ashburton community — and seems set to continue recycling, reusing and composting for many more years to come.

Mana RirikiPutting an end to Maori child abuse is the mission of Mana Ririki. Established in 2008 as a Maori-led response to tragically high rates of abuse, this charitable trust tackles the issue by fostering parenting models grounded in Maori culture and drawing on traditional whanau (family) beliefs.
“Our vision is violence-free whanau, which we will achieve when we eliminate Maori child abuse,” outlined Mana Ririki Executive Director Anton Blank. To deliver on this goal, Mana Ririki supports social service providers around the country with kaupapa Maori advocacy, research and communications.
One of the trust’s key strategies has been the development of the Tikanga Ririki parenting model. This is based on pre-colonial Maori philosophy, when children were favoured as gifts from atua (spiritual beings) and tupuna (ancestors).
Tikanga Ririki works to restore the belief that children are tapu (sacred), and therefore protected by special rules and restrictions. Traditional society rejected physical violence against children in any form, even as a means of discipline.
The Tindall Foundation provided funding in two stages to enable Mana Ririki to run training workshops, evaluate Tikanga Ririki’s effectiveness — and more recently to restructure its delivery. This has been crucial for supporting improved parenting, as course participant Aroha reflected:
“I can now be a role model for my children, and break the cycle of abusing alcohol and drugs.”

Capacity BuildingCapacity building is a key element in The Tindall Foundation’s strategy for helping charitable entities and social enterprises. We deliver it through Not for Profit Works (NFPWorks), which matches groups with advisers in the charity sector.
NFPWorks Director Margot Nicholson said the agency is “predominantly working with small organisations who have stretched resources and can be left quite vulnerable by changes, like key people leaving.”
Since 2009 we have funded these services to almost 150 small community organisations throughout New Zealand. The goals are to help them become stronger, resilient and more financially sustainable, and ensure that funding is effective and achieves long-term benefits for the community.
In 2013, Wellington urban garden project Innermost Gardens received targeted support for capacity building. It had begun transforming a disused bowling green in Mount Victoria into a community garden in 2010.
After meeting the Innermost Gardens team, Margot and the group agreed to have business consultant Vivien Maidaborn work for six months to address issues such as a revenue strategy and future direction. “It was awesome to have someone of Viv’s experience and expertise on hand,” reflected Richard Self, Innermost Gardens’ Co-chair.

De Paul HouseSince 1986 de Paul House has been coming to the aid of families in need. Based in Northcote on Auckland’s North Shore, this former Catholic boarding school has provided emergency housing and support services to thousands of people over that time.
When families need a place to stay, de Paul House offers temporary accommodation in a safe and dignifiedenvironment, and addresses the issues that led them to becoming homeless with classes in skills like budgeting, computing and literacy. Younger children attend a playgroup, while older children benefit from a homework centre supervised by local high-school students.
De Paul House was one of the earliest recipients of funding from The Tindall Foundation. Margaret, Lady Tindall has volunteered at the playgroup since 1994, and we continue to make significant financial contributions.
Over the past seven years, for example, we have donated $165,000 for staff salaries, and $150,000 towards the Pacific family support programme. “This assisted in promoting and cultivating the value of education for Pacific children and parents,” said Jan Rutledge, Manager of de Paul House.
Ex-resident Zarmina Halim, originally from Afghanistan, recalled her arrival at de Paul House: “I was really stressed because of our situation.” Now her husband has a job and the family has a home, but Zarmina still brings her two younger children to the playgroup — and is feeling more confident about her English and the future.

The Tindall Foundation Philosophy“What are the most powerful things we can support to make New Zealand communities the best places they can be?” That,said long-serving Manager and current Special Projects Manager Trevor Gray, is what The Tindall Foundation seeks to deliver.
Our philosophy is that the best way to meet social and environmental needs is to provide community groups with funding and the strategic direction to help them become self-sustaining. While funding applicants must target and report on outcomes, the aim is not to impose excessive compliance on recipients but to build a relationship based on trust.
We further seek to inspire generosity in others. Through support for a range of initiatives like Community Foundations and Payroll Giving,Trustees have significantly increased opportunities for giving, and the funding available to community groups and good causes.
“Stephen encourages use of the term ‘catalytic philanthropy’ — projects that put in money alongside people’s effort to create a long-term difference and benefit,” explained John McCarthy, the incoming Foundation Manager. So while we also provide smaller charitable donations to meet short-term needs, we also aim to catalyse change in society and the environment.
As a family foundation, we are also able to be proactive and not just respond to applications. “We embody a somewhat entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy,” observed Trevor. “Our flat structure reflects that — staff and trustees work closely together and aren’t concerned with hierarchies.”
The vision is both transformative and practical: to make sure that money and resources allocated can make the biggest difference to people’s lives and help address long-term chronic issues.
