A unique way to give. 

With 45South Foundation (formerly Wakatipu Community Foundation) you don’t have to be wealthy to have an impact. Whether it’s a large or small gift, a one off or regular contribution, all giving makes a difference through us. Our smarter giving model allows your giving to have benefits that last forever.

We’re different because we’re not about one single cause; we’re about a place and its people. Through us you can choose which significant local projects and causes to invest in to help transform our community.

Large or small, one-off or ongoing, all giving can impact the place you love most.
