New Zealand Charity Commission
Finbar Cullen | 11 May 2009 | Blogs
I note from the latest newsletter from the New Zealand Charity Commission that there are now (as at 4 May 2009) 21,060 registered charities in New Zealand. This figure includes 2,247 charities that operate overseas. They are not all grant-makers, but 284 operate in Europe. If you search by area of operation (Europe), and Activities (makes grants to organisations), you get 126 results. I am not convinced that they really are likely to support your organisation’s work in the UK, but you never know. However, perhaps, these charities should be something that we bear in mind when looking for support for overseas projects.
The New Zealand Charities Commission is re-organising and updating its website. There are no charity accounts available on the website yet, but it is a start

About Finbar Cullen
Finbar Cullen established ResearchPlus in 2005 to provide fundraising research services for the not-for-profit sector. He researches people, companies and grant-making trusts and foundations, mostly in the UK, but also other parts of the world. Finbar has published directories of “unpublished” grant-making trusts (registered with the Charity Commission and with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator), and each month he contributes to The Trust List, highlighting newly registered grant-making trusts worthy of particularly close attention.
