Tindall Foundation: investing in families

The Tindall Foundation has supported Waipuna’s work with young families since 2013, making it one of New Zealand’s most significant private philanthropic partners in our journey. Founded on the belief that business success carries a responsibility to community, the Tindall Foundation has consistently invested in our capacity to serve young parents in Canterbury.


What this partnership has made possible

Tindall Foundation support has funded Waipuna’s Young Parents Development Service, helping us run parenting groups, education programmes, and wraparound support for rangatahi parents in Canterbury. Their investment reflects a shared conviction: that when we invest in parents, we invest in children, and when we invest in children, we invest in the future of our communities.
