INTRODUCING THE EARTHWISE ACTION FUND SUPPORTING ENVIROSCHOOLS & TOIMATA FOUNDATION IN NZ

April 27, 2021

­­­Earthwise is proud to partner with Toimata Foundation to provide funding for sustainability driven projects across the Enviroschools and Te Aho Tū Roa networks. The new funding is being directed to on the ground community initiatives where it can make a real difference.

“With sustainability at the heart of everything we do, this network shares a very similar ethos to us.  To continue to empower the next generation of young people and make a meaningful difference in communities across New Zealand.” – Jamie Peters, Managing Director & Owner – Earthwise Group Ltd

The large Enviroschools network, of over 1300 schools and early childhood centres, is now able to access a funding boost for their projects via the Earthwise Action Fund.  In Te Aho Tū Roa, funds will go to some of the inspiring projects in the Māori communities that Toimata  works with.  These sustainable initiatives are important for many reasons – community resilience, manaakitanga, developing practical skills, whanaungatanga, financial literacy, intergenerational learning, financial savings, youth entrepreneurship, advancing the green/circular economy and more.

“We are delighted to be working with Earthwise to bring this opportunity to our nationwide networks. There are so many inspiring initiatives in the Enviroschools and Te Aho Tū Roa networks, and we would love to see more of them reach their potential with a funding boost.” Kristen Price, General Manager, Toimata Foundation

Watch this space as we begin working together for a more sustainable future.

Across the Enviroschools and Te Aho Tū Roa networks there are thousands of initiatives where participants are part of the movement for locally grown and locally made.

The Earthwise Action Fund operated successfully in 2021 and 2022, it was discontinued in 2023
