Charitable Giving

Feed Out is a nationally based charity designed to supply much needed milk to city missions and food banks. It connects generous farmer donations with people across New Zealand who are doing it tough.

At it's core, we believe no one in New Zealand should go hungry. By connecting farmer donations with food banks, together we can help to address the high levels of food insecurity we have nationwide.

The impact of Feed Out, through the support of Fonterra, will be huge. In the next year we aim to deliver 1,000,000 litres of milk to food banks nationwide. That's more than two litres in every food parcel!

Rural Support Trust is made up of 14 independent charitable Trusts throughout New Zealand, with local rural people in their teams who know from experience that pressures can mount up. Their networks and training can help with all kinds of situations, helping farmers and rural communities get through challenges.

Rural Support Trust is the only organisation that sits around the table face-to-face with our farmers, working through the issues, finding solutions and the necessary support. Most of the people involved with Rural Support Trust are unpaid volunteers, giving back to the Rural communities that they are part of. The biggest challenge to Rural Support Trusts is the increasing number of calls driven by mental health, burnout and depression, farm management challenges, animal welfare, financial pressures, relationship issues and change.

Your donation will go to the Regional Support Trust in your area and will fund initiatives that will benefit local farmers.

Trees for Survival is a school based environmental education programme supporting school communities to grow and plant native plant species in Aotearoa, New Zealand.  Our activity-based programme provides schools with an irrigated shade house and each year potting mix and eco sourced native plant seedlings. The schools are supported to transplant, nurture and then plant the established plants the following year at an annual planting day.

We actively involve NZ students in environmental restoration and collaborate with landowners to host school planting days where their planting helps restore erosion prone land and waterways. Together we are supporting NZ schools to be active and engage in their environment.
