Our People
Most of the people connected with Northland Community Foundation are volunteers, giving of their time and talent to forge brighter futures in Northland through giving.
Northland Community Foundation is made up of a board of volunteers from around Northland who give willingly of their time and talent to encourage giving to charitable and community causes.
The board are supported by volunteer committees – including a Grants Panel and an Investment Advisory Panel. These committees work to make sure that funds are found, invested wisely and then distributed through grants to the most appropriate organisations and causes across Northland.
There are five part-time staff members – Chief Executive, Accounts Administrator, Community Engagement Manager, Distributions Manager, and Marketing and Communications Manager.
As well as paid staff, we have volunteer Ambassadors, who support the work of the Foundation by providing specialised information to both professional advisors and to anyone looking at giving through Northland Community Foundation to a cause dear to their heart.
